Flashback Friday!

Here are some "Flashback Friday" photos from activities we have done in the past year. When we're not busy on the internet we also get outside and work hard!! ;)


Here are photos from a nature walk we did around the local area!

Composting Course!

The members of Blackwater Tidy Towns went to some meetings the past few weeks about food waste and composting, which was helped by Wexford County Council Environment Department.



They're going to be teaching us more about it this summer, but we think building a wormery sounds gross!

Flashback Friday!

For the month of May we're going to try do a "Flashback Friday" every week, and show you some of our older photos from before we had the blog!

This week, our giant sunflowers!!! Did you know that we had a competition to see who could grow the biggest sunflower? It was difficult to decide as they all grew so big, taller than most of us!

We're going to do it again this year!

Strawberry Pavlova Recipe

Kevin Dundon is a famous chef from our very own Wexford! We think his recipe for Strawberry Pavlova will be delicious and we can't wait for the strawberries in our garden to start growing again this year!

You can check out the recipe (plus many others) on The Taste.ie here: thetaste.ie/wp/strawberry-pavlova-recipe-by-chef-kevin-dundon/



What's your favourite way to eat strawberries?

Easy Garden Craft DIY Videos

Just in time for the long Bank Holiday weekend, we found some videos on YouTube with craft ideas for your garden.

We searched hard and we only want to share with you easy things you can do at home, as some of the videos are really hard or they need a lot of different things to make them.

We hope you have fun making them!













If you make something please share it with us in the comments below!

We all know lamb is popular in Spring and during Easter too, so we've found this simple mint sauce recipe from Safe Food.eu for a fresh and easy to make side.

Carrot Face Mask

Coming up to Easter we think of many things including flowers, eggs, chocolate and the Easter bunny. Another thing we think about and start to see more, are carrots!

We grow plenty of carrots in St Brigids Garden, our special growing area in the village. They're pretty easy to grow and while we usually just eat them boiled at Sunday or in the occasional salad, you can use them for lots of other things too!

We found a really easy recipe for making a home made carrot face mask on Live Strong.com. Carrots are supposed to help rejuvenate your skin because they are antiseptic. This recipe also contains honey to help moisturize your skin too.
