Goodbye Sadie👋 Hello strawberries. It’s another new normal. On the blog Maireadhennessy.com . . #ireland #blog #littlethings #greystones #stayhomeWe have a bit of a flour mountain... We seem to be settling into a bit of a rut here at the moment, one day is very like the rest with spikes of excitement on grocery days and 5km walk day but last week there was a huge spike... link in bio . #baking #calm #journey #lifestory #patterns #littlethings #alliswell #behaviour #nature #copingstrategies #travel #notravel #ireland #gardening #calm #journey #lifestory #patterns #littlethings #alliswell #behaviour #nature #copingstrategies #travel #notravel #irelandI could hear Eilish rustling papers in the larder and wanted to know what she was up to, she told me to stop being so curious. Next thing she arrives out with a brown paper parcel tied with yarn. It was for me! The scarf she’s been crocheting for two weeks is mine! I have been eyeing it up since the day she started and she must have noticed. A note fell out as I was opening it. A very funny note... read more on the blog. . #kindness #flour #calm #journey #lifestory #patterns #littlethings #alliswell #behaviour #jigsaw #copingstrategies #travel #notravel #irelandWe are still working away in the garden but we have slowed down. Thankfully. My back was starting to ache and Eilish was getting better at being the boss of me. She has a very productive way of getting me off a chair, she goes out into the garden and leaves the back door open. Did you know the east wind is still blowing? The east wind is very cold when you’re sitting in a chair. Fortunately she’s ready for a break now too and I’m encouraging her to take one, she really needs to slow down… I’m not getting any younger. Where would we go if we took a break, though? We’re already on a break, aren’t we? What kind of un-magical rethinking made this seem like work?

I want to tell you a story... about something that happened before I started writing about the new normal journey. The day after Eilish arrived in Greystones, Denis began feeling unwell. He rang the doctor and spoke to the receptionist who explained the procedure. He went on to the HSE (Irish health service) website to fill in a form for a test and then he went into self-isolation in our bedroom. I moved into the box room and we all lived happily ever after… on the blog #community #communityservice #gardening #calm #journey #lifestory #patterns #littlethings #alliswell #behaviour #nature #copingstrategies #travel #notravel #ireland #irelandtravelShed transformation and gratitude... And now we’re painting. Not art, no, the shed. Well it was bound to happen. I blame Eilish. She saw the old paint tins that I was storing until next year or the year after when I’d get the date right and take them to the town council car park for the toxic dump day. I never got the day right and here we are with a hidden stash of rusted paint tins. I’d never have opened them. I might have started burying them but I’d never have opened them. Eilish opened them.... on the blog maireadhennessy.com . #gardening #calm #journey #projects #gratitude #lifestory #patterns #littlethings #alliswell #behaviour #nature #jigsaw #painting #safeandwell #copingstrategies #travel #notravel #ireland🍀 #ireland❤ #ireland @vibesandscribesArchives

Leave the floor washing and follow your heart
We had a great night sleep. Very gentle rolling at 3am but otherwise smooth as a lake. We’ve just had breakfast, the highlight of which was the coffee. They must have a new machine… No the real highlight of the … Continue reading
