    Sunshine , rain and a rainbow!

    Hello Readers,

    So I went for a quick lunch break walk, and all looked sunny.. As I walked, the skies got very dark, and by the time I reached the end of our road, it had started to rain! Whilst I was getting drenched I saw a rainbow! Actually, when I look at the picture, it’s a double rainbow!

     
     
     

     

    As I mentioned previously, I am doing a fundraiser for www.bumbleance.com, where I am growing 240 hyacinths. They’ll be for sale around Christmas, and all proceeds are going to www.bumbleance.com. If you live further afield, and would like to sponsor me, please click on the following link – thank you for your support! Checkout my other blog on progress with the hyacinths, they are all planted now!

     
    Have a great weekend!

  • The last of the Indian Summer – part two!

    The last of the Indian Summer – part two!

     

    Hello all,

    So I thought that the we had had the last of our our Indian Summer last weekend, but I am glad to tell you we had another beautiful weekend. It’s been a busy weekend, as I had the usual Rugby training, then I started to plant the bulbs for my #Bumbleance fundraiser, took Rueben to #Coderdojo in Loughrea and as I really enjoyed our walk to the Coole Park, I decided to go back today with the whole family!

    To finish off , we went to Coole Park. I really enjoyed our walk from last weekend, so I convinced Alex and David to join. The horses were no longer there, which I think is to do with the fact that we had some rain recently and the place will flood shortly. The pictures below are probably of a better quality than the previous once, as I lost my phone at the airport in Eindhoven on the return of one of my recent trips but thankfully got the phone back..

     

     

    Last week the water wasn’t as high as it was today

     

    Last week we were able to cross over here, but due to recent rain fall, it’s getting flooded

    Hi all,

    I decided during the summer holidays I wanted to do a fundraiser for #Bumbleance growing Hyacinths. The type I am going to grow are called the “prepared ” version, and if I plan them around now, they’ll flower around Christmas, and will make a perfect Christmas gift!
    I made some enquiries and was delighted to get sponsored by Horkans!

    I have started a separate blog with the progress , so please come and visit my other blog to keep up to date how I am doing there!You can find the blog here: http://hyacinthflowerchallenge.wordpress.com

    I picked up the bulbs, and this was one of the pictures I took!

    Thanks!
