Early bloom

I've not quite got back into the swing of things after all the excitement of becoming Irish. Anyway, a day of domestic chores as the weather is shite - and it's getting shiter - Storm Darragh about to do his worst at 8pm. Just heard from Will in Bristol who's reported that he's just had a government warning  - about the weather! 
I nipped out to an early evening talk in Ballydehob - the Poet  was doing a reading and it was much food for thought, about his own personal journey of grief and and light and the Irish landscape. Made it home just in time I reckon as it's high tide and the roads are awash.
Nonetheless, a brave camellia has popped out!  Thanks to Biker Bear as always.
