Welcome to our Social Media Blog….
10 years on from marriage equality. Still one of the proudest days to be Irish but we must remember not to take progress for granted. The daily news cycle reminds us how fragile hard-won rights can be.

Rain in May, and I’m actually welcoming it. Who’d have thought? It didn’t creep in either - it kicked the door down (not literally!)

First cuckoo of the year. Once a common call of spring, now a rare treat!

Blue skies. So much for the rain they promised.
White bluebells… whitebells?
And stone walls, quiet witnesses to centuries of comings and goings.

Penny protecting us from the robots.
Good-night by Seamus Heaney
A latch lifting, an edged den of light
Opens across the yard. Out of the low door
They stoop into the honeyed corridor,
Then walk straight through the wall of the dark.
A puddle, cobble-stones, jambs and doorstep
Are set steady in a block of brightness.
Till she strides in again beyond her shadows
And cancels everything behind her.
May 1st is National Poetry Day in Ireland.

We are absolutely thrilled to be part of the 100 Million Trees Project, an incredible initiative aimed at restoring Ireland’s native woodlands by planting 100 million trees over the next decade.
Last November, we planted 2,500 native trees here at Roundwood, helping to create healthier ecosystems for generations to come. We’re so proud to contribute to this ambitious project, bringing more life, beauty, and biodiversity to our landscape.
A huge thank you to Richard, Tina and David Mulcahy who run this national not-for-profit initiative.
If anyone with land is interested in participating in the project (you need to give over a quarter acre), let me know and I’ll put you in touch with Tina 🌳

Just a small corner of Roundwood but, like every corner of this house, it’s full of character and stories waiting to be told.

Taking a little break, having some family time and seeing the sights in Canada. Happy days! Meanwhile Roundwood has been left in the capable hands of our amazing staff.

The world feels a little upside down these days, but the sun is shining and the sky is strikingly blue. It’s a good reminder to pause, breathe, and appreciate the small moments of peace.

The view from my kitchen window, made even lovelier by the regular parade of ducks, geese and hens bustling by, always with such a sense of purpose.
