The Undertones and The Boomtown Rats at Swords Castle 🏰 last night. One of the best gigs I’ve ever seen. As front men go, Paul McLoone and Bob Geldof are outstanding. Two amazing bands on one stage. What a night. @fingal.ie @paulmcloone.bsky.social @theboomtownrats.bsky.social

I’m hoping to bring you all home some Spanish sun rays on Tuesday. It has been so lovely to wake up to sunshine everyday 🌞 could stay another month.

First bloom. My late parents had an enormous rose bush in their garden for years. When the house was being sold, my green fingered father in law took a small cutting of it and tended it for me. Now I have their lovely roses in my own garden. Nature is amazing 😻
