Yes got your comments and thank you.
...Hello Anne,<br />Yes got your comments and thank you. <br />Would eat road kill, but surprisingly not come across any for a couple of years.<br />We are hoping to come over next month, have not made definite plans (best laid of mice and men) so could be April. Thank you so much for your kind offer. It will be our first visit to Ireland and it is always nice to know that one has a friendly contact. May have heaps of questions to ask after our visit if not before. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-61036708745664586112015-02-15T10:56:51.352-08:002015-02-15T10:56:51.352-08:00We breed rabbits for the table Irene, we do eat ha...We breed rabbits for the table Irene, we do eat hare but only road kill, I cant stand to think that such a lovely animal will go to waste. Have sent you a message via Google connect, I hope you get it, I'm not sure if I did it right. Anyway I see you are coming over next month, you would be most welcome to stay here for a couple of days.

I will let you know when we are coming over.<br />The willow sculptures are beautiful, indeed anything made from natural mediums are. I have a thing about hares, love them.

I don't know what the life span of the sculptures would be.<br />Main Street, opposite the parking in the square, I didn't notice if they sell Sirdar wool but I have my doubts if you will get the same batch colour, but who knows, you might get lucky.

Raised beds really started in the 70's as it was found that with lazy beds you get a lot of run off of nutrients, the width is supposed to represent how far you can comfortable reach from either side of the bed to the centre so you never have to step on it.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-68468021095897166202015-02-13T11:24:44.750-08:002015-02-13T11:24:44.750-08:00Willow weaving is very popular here Lynda, I must ...Willow weaving is very popular here Lynda, I must ask a friend of ours if she know who made them.<br />I will post a photo of the bedhead when I've done the cushions, the room is still not finished as it's been very dry here so the garden takes priority.

We approve. That wool shop / haberdashers? Could you give us a clue. Liz is desperately seeking some 'Sirdar' wool of a specific batch to finish a pullover we under-estimated.

I cool that someone take the time and effort to create something so beautiful and then displays for others to share. I bet there is quite a competition between makers. <br /><br />So where is the photo of the bed head? I'm waiting. I think i could waste more than just a few hours in that store and i think i would have to be very very careful not to walk out with arms full of goodies.
