It’s weed and feed Friday in Carryduff, ahead of the much needed rain. Just hope it knows when to stop once it starts! #bbcniweather
M&S this morning. Assume it will be Easter eggs any day now!
Swallows lining up, getting ready to fly off to a warmer climate. The end of summer… @bbcniweather
A good day for catching up in the garden. The skies might be grey but at least there is no wind or rain - at the moment. @bbcniweather
Finally the sweet pea and cornflowers are blooming - delayed this year due to bad weather. Time to start making jam jar posies.
The day has started well. A batch of swallows have just fledged, just harvested my dinner veg and there will be strawberries for dessert. Even the wild flowers are finally starting to bloom. Hard to beat home grown!
Tomorrow is the first day of summer and the start of International Clothesline week (it really is - 1st-8th June). Hope we get the weather in Carryduff to enjoy both! @bbcniweather #weatherwatchers
A contented couple at Seaforde Butterfly House and Gardens. Worth a visit!
Finally the wind and rain have stopped (at least for now) to give a beautiful sunset in Carryduff - and the swallows have arrived!
Blossom on my apple tree. Surely this is not normal for this time of year?
Some changes to the Ulster Countrywoman over the last 60 years but the ethos is still the same! 1963 edition had articles on a Hindu wedding, home dry cleaning tips, domestic economy suggestions, recipes & gardening. WI still relevant over the years @BoardmillsWI
Good crop of acorns this season - first time in years. Lots of conkers as well.
Today’s veg - Just picked these French Beans and have topped & tailed them ready for dinner this evening. Think I will roast them with a little Parmesan and then will drizzle with a wee drop of lemon juice just before serving, just for a change.
