Just Googled that, Albert. It looks really nice, but it seems it isn't really hardy enough for the Irish climate.

Wow, I have never thought of Bougainvilleas as anything other than super tough, hard to kill plants. My grandparents had one that regularly needed to be cut back as it was a very vigorous grower. Frost and ridiculously low temperatures are it’s weakness.

Sounds good to me... and I'm glad you're looking to rescue the building from further decay in due time. You're very lucky to have found such a beautiful home and garden.   

What was the real luck was being able to actually afford it.  

I saw many others advertised, and some actually in a lot worse condition than this one, that caught me eye. But the asking prices were just too high.

And I couldn't even afford this one when it first appeared on the market. I put a few offers on it, but the estate agent (realtor is the word used in the US, I think) kept coming back to say that there had been a better offer. When the offers got too high for me, I eventually gave up on it and started looking elsewhere. Nearly twelve months later, just as I was negotiating with a different estate agent about buying a much less attractive property a few miles out of the village (the attraction being that it had a one acre - 0.4 hectare - rough field attached), the original estate agent phoned me to say the sale had fallen through. Apparently the purchaser had changed his mind when it came to signing the final contracts. I managed to get it for more than €20,000 less than my previous highest offer for it. I think the vendor, who lives in Florida, was just anxious to finally sell it.

Happy Saturday, folks!

DeHappy Caturday y'all

The day started a bit cloudy and chillier but by lunchtime it was warm and sunny again.

I've planted more potatoes. We now have 30 plants! and no more space. I was supposed to only plant the 2 laundry baskets and the rest would've go to Grandma's garden but with lockdown we can't go there so I'm planting them by group of 3 in soil and horse shit bags 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've also harvest the leeks. Not a real success. They're as big as a thumb... I'll put carrots at their place.

I hope your day is as bright and warm as the sun here

 

[Headstall]

Happy Saturday, all!

Nope, I'm fine.     I miss the boys, but I'll see Mickey on video chat tomorrow, so it's not too bad. I also made vanilla custard donuts this morning.
