Ballydehob is a small and very charming village on the coast of West Cork, and along the Wild Atlantic route. It was once a thriving mining town, now-a-days it is still overlooked by Mount Gabriel which is where copper was mined back then. Its beauty is superb, and last Saturday we decided to go on the Nature Trail which leads around and over the old railway bridge which leads over one of Ballydehob’s two rivers, the Bawnakeane and Rathravane, but I am not sure which of the two it is! We took along one of my granddaughters, she is a real nature child and took delight in drawing pictures of some of the scenery in her note-book. Ian was well able for this walk and enjoyed it too. I took note of all the new growth along the way, there were several flowers open, Lesser Celandine, Daisies, and Herb Robert were among them. I also noticed young leaves of the March Violet, a wild Geranium, and quite a few very pretty ferns. The walk along the trail is easy for anyone and the views are magnificent. We finished our walk in the village with coffee and delicious cake at a delightful eatery called Budd’s.

Yes due to the mild winter so far and the plentiful rain earlier in winter it is rather greener than normal I think.

We’re having a cold snap just now – had to defrost my windscreen this evening because of black ice – but generally the garden has been bearing up well.

Frost is worse than snow I think. We have only had a night or two of frost so far, and no snow though I would like a little.

Our snow came and went – yes, it is less damaging, at least in part I think because it doesn’t need to be freezing for it to fall.
