In return the snow afforded the little Snowdrop protection from the cold ❄️🩵

I can do that if you don't mind waiting a day or two.

I'm in Ireland how can I help?

After 2 years of work, I've finally taken delivery of an actual printed copy of my second book 'The Magic of an Irish Rainforest: A Visual Journey'.

I've done my best to capture the essence of these priceless, but mostly dying, ecosystems, and am over the moon with the results. 🌎

This needs to change, or the way will be opened to fascism. As we're already seeing in many places.

On the other hand if the weather is fine it is said to that to the Cailleach is out collecting wood for her fire and the Winter will be prolonged and the Spring delayed.

The weather is terrible today and the forecast for the next few days is not great. That's good news. In Irish folklore it is said that if the weather is bad at Imbolg, the Cailleach is asleep, the winter will end quickly and usher in Spring.

Some different types of Brigit's cross

Most people are familiar with the the four leg Brigid's Cross. This because RTE, the national television station in Ireland used it as a logo for about 30 years.
There are many variations of Brigid's Crosses associated with different regions
The diamond or lozenge cross is associated with Munster.

Ah yes, thank you!
