🍃Meet my wee mate Basil. I bought Basil @sainsburys but he wasn’t a happy plant.🌿 I was about to chuck the whole wilting mess into the bin after one Caprese salad, bit something said HOLD ON. I left him on the windowsill, & then I noticed one brave little shoot making an appearance. I snipped the rest back & watered liberally. And now, ta daaa! Isn’t he looking well of himself? More salads to follow! #basil #backfromthebrink #plants #plantsmakemehappy #optimism #resilience #herbs #herbsandspices #belfast #northernireland

🍓🫐Dreamiest breakfast pot ever to liven up a #mondaymorning. Blueberries, leftover apple & strawberry crumble, a BIG dollop of @clandeboye_yoghurt & agave syrup to finish. I like to have my pot at about 10-30 with coffee as I rarely eat first thing. Today’s was definitely a treat thought- I don’t think my dentist would approve of this everyday 😬😁

🌳*no filter needed* I’m aware of the irony here. I took this picture of Cherryvale on my phone when I was out for a ‘head-clearing’ walk. The thing about phones is that you’re never ‘off’. Even when I see something beautiful, I feel like I have to take a picture of it instead of just savouring the moment. I wrote about this in today’s blog & will be chatting to Frank on @u105radio after 10-40 this morning. ✍🏼Link in bio. #mobiles #distraction #liveinthemoment #liveinthenow #quietthechaos

🍓I am a disaster in the mornings. I sleep in, I am rushed & cranky & LSB gets frustrated when I leave for work with no breakfast. 🍃This week I’ve turned over a new leaf! I’ve got up a little bit earlier & made lovely salads & snack pots. Today this was full of strawberry, banana, orange & a tasty granola with pieces of ginger which gives it a real oomph. A dollop of yogurt is the finishing touch. The jam jar is so much prettier than Tupperware & handier too, since the kids steal all the containers & fill with all manner of shite. 🙄

🪴Three years ago I saw an ad on Freecycle from a chap trying to clear his yard. I picked up a rake of half-dead, ailing plants & thought I’d try & resuscitate them.⁣
⁣
💀This one looked, frankly, beyond help, but then tiny buds appeared from the wreckage. It has since flowered each summer & keeps getting better with every year.⁣

Anyone have an idea what it is called?? 🌸 #succulents #plantlover #plantlife #freecycle #swapdontshop #swap

A weekend in Belfast celebrating cow parsley & blue bells (& of course, the famous Tilly dog.)

I’m a right one. I go on & on about waste & recycling yet I regularly find carrots long past their best skulking in the back of the fridge. Unless they have gone mouldy tho, I use them anyway. Case in point, this casserole. Plenty of other ideas here in this brilliant article. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/may/03/is-your-fridge-a-vegetable-graveyard-how-to-revive-dead-produce-into-crisper-soup

The humble whin bush or gorse as I call them. They were a thing of beauty down @murloughandmournesnt today & when a friend encouraged me to had a good sniff of them, I noticed a strong coconutty scent which was wholly unexpected & totally lovely. 💛⭐️🌟 #yellow #nature #northernireland #countydown #murloughbay #murloughbeach #gorse #lovenature

Well I can’t say I’m not on trend. There’s my wallpaper from my funky bookcase from @paintformebespoke in the den in #kin on #rte. At least my living room’s not full of snakes, but if my children had their way God only knows what other creatures we’d be welcoming … 🐍🦎🐇

📚Here’s the Mothership, who will be heading home this evening to get stuck into Mrs Harte’s Marriage Bureau, by @sheenawilkinson . It’s a splendid read, which put me in mind of ‘Dear Mrs Bird’ by @ajpearcewrites. (Spot the sprawling #greyhound in the pic). #booksagram #lovereading #northernirishwriters

‘Hope’- an incredible evening @queensstudentsunion organised by @seamusheaneycentre - an absolute delight. Still buzzing from such beautiful poetry, music, spoken word & screenwriting performances. The talent in #northernireland is immense, & so very joyful. #hope #goodfridayagreement25 #belfast

👟Sturdy footwear- who’s a fan? I some people (myself included) aren’t keen on outer wear indoors, but I’ve been reading up & turns out, slippers are a bloody health hazard! I’m considering making a purchase of ‘inside trainers’. You can have a read about slipper related mishaps (or mis-steps 🤣) in this week’s blog post. ✍🏼Link in bio. #adidas #trainers #slippers #footwear #indoorfootwear #niblogger #northernireland
