The afternoon suddenly became the summer we’ve been waiting for and I managed 2 hrs gardening, a quiet evening ride with Susan - a walk and talk suited us both ( it was too hot to do anything more really )and then a dog walk in Knocknacree woods which were stunning and the bird song was exceptional, I couldn’t spot who was singing as the trees are so high , but I think I saw a jay which I’ve never seen in Ireland before. The magic comes with the sun and heat :0)
