Eily’s Report – 25th February
Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.
Isn’t it divine when the sun comes out ,you want to run outside and grab it up before it goes away again. I wonder is it silly to think that the few stolen minutes in the sun does you good. How long does it take to make a difference? Minutes, half an hour, a full hour. I wish I knew. Well in any case I get out even for a moment. This morning I soaked up the morning rays at my little suntrap outside my back door and even if it didn’t do any good to my body it certainly did wonders for my mind. The birds were enjoying it too and their song was like balm to my sun-hungry me. My moments of bliss only lasted about half an hour when the elements changed their mood and it started to rain again. From my kitchen window I can see my camellias, I have them in two colours with a cheeky azalea fighting for notice in between and they are all ready to blossom. Other people’s camellias are flowering for ages mine just now, and others will follow according to their time. But for now the moment is mine. And as the buds slowly emerge there is something new to look at every morning and admire for the day. All around the garden growth is in the air. The snowdrops have done their duty for now and the daffodils are well there. The bluebells and the wild garlic are ready to do their bit and it’s worth using the bit of sun to walk among them even for a few moments.

Eily’s Report – 18th February
Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.
Before the drizzly rain started today there was a lively wind blowing outside and while savouring my first meal of the day I let my eye wander over what was happening in the great big world beyond my kitchen window. At ground level there was little change, just the weather beaten lawn and judging by the skies it was in from more. However high up in the sky the crows were playing high jinks. In full wing they seemed enjoy riding on the wind. They allowed themselves to be carried by it and play a variety of games. At times to soar ’til they were nearly out of sight and then drop wing and fall from on high at great speed, only to catch themselves at the last minute and rise again. They flitted in and out amid the flock and it was easy to see that they were having a great time. As a little reward for the free show I threw out a few scraps and it didn’t take them long to spot them and dive in for the morsels. After that they disappeared into wherever crows go after their morning rounds. Very soon the misty rain pulled a curtain over the scene and I was glad that I saw and enjoyed it at the beginning of my day, my week.

Eily’s Report – 11th February
Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.
A lovely Spring day T.G., February 11, the Feast Day of St. Gobnait, the patron saint of bees. Cold perhaps but it’s not stopping the little birds from singing their loudest songs from the highest trees. I think they like it when we come out. They seem to sing all the louder when we do and come out we should when there is no storm and rain. There is still a lot to see even after the ‘big wind’. To pick up the things that are lying around in it’s wake, gives us the chance to find the new life that is lurking below. Tender shoots have a strength all of their own and it never fails to amaze me to see how the soft tender beginnings of the daffodils can make their way up through crushed down leaves and last year’s nettles plus a few stones, to arrive strong and green and determined to play their part in the game of life which Mother Nature devises for them year after year, century after century, even if it’s too early for planting yet but it’s nice to be planning that is after we clean up the place after the severe weather. It’s great to see farmers out on the land. Their work is more important than our gardens and we wish them well. There are no sheep in my view and I’m sure baby lambs are arriving around this time. They give the Spring and head start every year. To see them playing and prancing in the fields would raise anybody’s spirits. The very thought will make me drive out some day to where I can stop and admire and enjoy them.

Eily’s Report – 4th February
Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.
You can’t bate (beat) the Irish. For weeks we’ve been punished and lashed by all kinds of weather, culminating in the worst gales that ever hit the land, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake and people on the point of despair. Then a little over a week later along comes the Feast Day of St. Brigid and suddenly the mood changes into an extravaganza of celebrations and parades in every corner of the Country. I feel like saying ‘Congratulations Bridget at last you have ‘arrived’. A National Bank Holyday all to yourself. Never have I seen so much excitement. It was as though every community, every single person wanted to shake off the shackles of Storm Eowyn and be part of it all. It was as though we were only too glad to change the subject and face the future with new hope, now that our Mary of the Gaels got her place among the Elite of the Great where we can pay new homage to her and be confident of her help in the future.
