I haven't opened Twitter in at least a year or more, but since I've been helping @ZwartblesIE with lambing, I thought some of you might enjoy the videos I made of my time here 😊 1st one is here:

A video from @WildCottage of some of the knitwear that’s being auctioned off to raise funds for Ukrainian refugees via @IrishFibreCraft youtu.be/9lQUo-8rWRU
And the second one is here, with Judy give birth to Big Ears, with help from @ZwartblesIE 🤗 youtu.be/w96QRDr_wRo
Our first +5km trip in several months...19 whole kilometers to Lough Bunny in the Burren Lowlands, County Clare. One of our favorite places...Mimì's especially.
A bit of Irish high-king history from County Clare.
(Tom here...I'm going to help Susan do her Twitter sometimes as she is very busy lately otherwise.)
If you enjoy knitting, you may like to watch my latest knitting podcast 😊 I show you several Irish yarns; one of them @ZwartblesIE
alpaca, & tell you how I'm getting on with knitting with it. 🧶

Now with that cold spell behind us, it's time to start looking out for Blackthorn Flowering as part of the Farmers' Wildlife Calendar. Last year, the first record of Blackthorn in flower was from Cork on Valentines day.

That time of year again! Frogs in our pond were so busy getting busy yesterday that they didn't even notice us noticing them!

Such stunning #woodcock footage! Love the way it trundles through the leaves. Who'd have thought they are a species of sandpiper eh!?
More daylight #woodcock footage, filmed on @BrowningCams Strike Force HD Pro X.

It snowed! Mimi & Shep are having fun-- til a cold easterly hits them!
Thanks for all your good wishes for my Dad 💚 So far chemo is not giving him bad side effects.
I hope you all are doing OK xx
