RIP Irish Water
Some photos from the Irish Water protest in Cork last Saturday. A huge crowd gathered and braved the bitter wind and rain and snow to march through the city.

Blarney Castle in the Snow
Snow fell last night in Ireland and everything came to a halt as people all over the country gasped in wonder at the strange white stuff on the ground. Thankfully it looks like it won’t last. We’re not equipped to deal with this sort of weather at all!
Blarney Castle opened later than usual but the paths were all cleared so of course I had to go tramping away in the snow covered grass..

Rijnvelds Early Sensation
If you go down to Blarney Castle now you’ll see 30,000 daffodils blooming in the beautiful gardens there. In my last post I joked that the daffodils were confused but it’s a plant that flowers early and tolerates the cold so it’s perfect for this time of year.
Be sure to check out Ferbal O’Callaghan’s beautiful photo of the daffodils too and check out the Friends of Blarney Castle Facebook group where there are more pictures and information.
There’s also the SodShow interview with Paul O’Sullivan and Adam Whitbourn of Blarney Gardens here and here if you want to know more about the gardens there.

Confused Daffodils in Blarney Castle
There are some confused daffodils in Blarney Castle this year, out in January! I hope the rest of January is mild enough for them.
I posted a similar photo on Instagram a few hours ago, just in case you’re getting a strange sense of déjà vu.

Deep Water Berth at Ringaskiddy
The deep water berth at Ringaskiddy in Cork Harbour yesterday. Driving rain, wind blowing it almost horizontal. The first day of the year was wet. I waited until it quietened down a bit before venturing outside with my camera! 🙂
