Just another flower photo from the hedgerows near my house. I've been a bit disappointed with the quality of my photos since I got a new phone - the focus just isn't as good as my old one. Isn't it frustrating

My dad planted lots of wildflower seeds on a patch of wasteground this year, and this is one of the pretty poppies that grew. (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge, MondayRed. This #colorchallenge

I had 3 lemons to use up this weekend, so I made a jar of lemon curd. The ingredients are so simple - lemons, egg yolks, sugar and butter - and I could easily just sit and eat it all straight out of the

I noticed this wall of pictures of Bombay Sapphire gin in a bar in Cork, Ireland. I love gin, so I'm tempted to do this in my own home... (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge, SaturdayIndigo.

I found this cute little friend near my house the other day. Some summers you don't see many ladybirds, but there seem to be plenty this year. (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge, MondayRed.

Spotted this purple flower on a walk yesterday. It's so tiny, this was the best picture I could get of it. Happy Sunday! (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge, SundayPurple. This #colorchallenge

We have lots of these hawthorn trees around us. I love seeing them flower, because it means there will be lots of berries in the autumn for the birds. (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge,

The hedgerows are full of buttercups right now! I love their bright yellow colour. It makes up for the lack of sun in Ireland (almost). (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge, WednesdayYellow. This

I made these little cupcakes recently to take to an event. They were lime cupcakes with raspberry-lime buttercream. They were so tasty, I need to make them again soon! (This is my entry for today's

We have lots of these pretty clovers around my area at the moment. Soon a tractor will come round and cut the hedgerows back, and we'll lose a lot of the wildflowers. But for now, I'm enjoying them :)

My boyfriend's family have a shop, and they sell the best ice creams! I've tried using the ice cream machine but I'm terrible at it. My boyfriend made this one. I'm excited for a whole summer of ice creams!

This was the view from my window this evening, just as the sun started to set. We've had a beautiful warm spring day in Ireland, and now I'm excited for the weekend (even though all I'll be doing is

Did you ever pretend flowers were rings like this when you were a kid? I used to do it all the time. This kind of makes me feel little again :) orangemarigold.jpg (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge,

I haven't seen any pretty orange colours in a while, so this is a throwback to summer :) I'm looking forward to seeing these flowers again in a few months. (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge,

I found these pretty indigo hyacinths the other day on my walk home. They'd been snapped off the plant, so I've given them a home in a jar on my window sill. I just love all these spring flowers, I waited

My boyfriend bought me these tulips last week, they were on sale after Valentine's Day. They remind me of little sunsets. (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge, TuesdayOrange. This #colorchallenge

I took this photo from a window in Leuven, Belgium, while I was staying there. We arrived the night after this light snowfall, and it was so pretty! We didn't get much blue sky in Belgium, but there's

Just some green vegetables all cut up for a stir-fry. I don't eat enough green things, I need to do this more often! (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge, ThursdayGreen. This #colorchallenge was

I spotted this little winter pansy on a walk in my village over Christmas. It's nice to see some flowers at such a cold, dreary time! (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge, SundayPurple. This

My boyfriend made these waffles for us the other day for brunch. Since I went to Belgium I've been craving waffles all the time! (This is my entry for today's #colorchallenge, SaturdayIndigo. This
