[A Far-Flung Life by M.L. Steadman]

Me telling a story and drawing along.

Holding a copy of Second Chances in mid-sign at O'Mahonys Bookshop in Limerick.

Spring bouquet. Adorable.

1. Treated the infants of Our Lady of Lourdes school in Limerick to some of my very bad drawing.
2. Signed books in O'Mahonys bookshop afterwards.
3. Added daffs to the Aldi spring bouquet. It is a thing of wonder. The SCENT.

Great book. And yes.

Stop! Maximum capacity reached!

Pot by the front door with primroses and a welcome sign.

A wild sea at Spanish Point. High tide, lots of suds.

#3goodthings
1. Hot cross breakfast. 😋😋😋
2. New arrival to the doorside.
3. Perfect spring day, cold and bright, so after hanging up my laptop I pulled on the layers and walked to the sea. Magnificent today, all foam and crashing waves. Snap doesn't come close to doing it justice.

Tasty.

Not yet.

Calendar showing the cliffs of Moher for March.

Daffodils in pots on the patio.

Beef curry.

#3goodthings
1. Happy March. Now we're all on the same spring page.
2. Patio daffs coming on.
3. Curry. Only possible dinner for a most unspringlike day.

Ha ha - thanks Anita!

Cool!

Good, thanks!

Not really. The occasional unenthusiastic lick.

Hey kids 👋

Fancy a bit of retail therapy?

We make lots of lovely things and we could do with a few orders.

Reposts would be fabulous too, I swear I am not demanding.

Bath night. George giving Paddy a good scrub.

Poster about storytelling in Miltown Malbay library.

A notice inviting men with cancer to get together with others for a chat.

List of bestselling Irish books.

#3goodthings
1. Storytelling in my local library. Lovely.
2. Spotted this notice in the chemist. Fair play, Graham. Hope a few turned up.
3. Hanging in there with Second Chances. Thanks to all who helped.

Please amplify this post from a woman who understands and teaches the value of holding onto her love of art, culture, books and everyday kindnesses in a warzone. We all need such wisdom.

2 poinsettias in the final stages.

#3goodthings
1. Charlie making a dent in the couch back.
2. A trip to Mallow library to talk about the books as part of Ireland Reads. Forgot snap.
3. Poinsettias hanging on grimly. I kind of like this Japanese flower phase.

Sorbet cocktails.

Bouquet of spring flowers.

#3goodthings
1. Ennistymon street art.
2. Cocktail mini pots. I resisted. I prefer my gin un-sorbeted.
3. Spring bouquet in Aldi. Couldn't not.

I couldn't possibly say!

Mary, only spotting this now by accident - SOMEONE spelt my name wrong....😂😂😂

Elder tree.

Apple tree.

#3goodthings
1. Buds on the elder and apple trees. Cordial and crumbles to come. 😋😋😋
2. Plot of next coming together. Agent might shoot it down in flames but I'll forge on. 🤞🤞
3. A mostly dry day, thankfully. Garden sloshy with all the rain. No snap because sloshy.

A lovely splash of colour against the brickwork.

Twas found - as ye were.

Thanks J! I failed in my search.

Ring any bells, @arealmofwonder.bsky.social?

...and ends with "We remember what we had forgotten. The hallways are bright. Our cook is in love." Anyone recognise it?

Trying to locate a poem, don't remember who wrote it, but it opens with "Our cook is in love. Love hangs in the house like a mist, it envelops us all. The spoons go uncounted, confused is the grocery list, but light each footfall..."
