Yesterday - came home from town to find the postie had brought me a little parcel from our very own Mups - these lovely bunnies to use on Easter Cards! Apparently they were sent in early January! They must have walked all the way.

This morning - the postie brought me another parcel - from my friend, Paddy, who has been working in Ireland for a couple of weeks. A beautiful scarf made from 50% cotton and 50% silk.

Are you cooking anything special? My ex mother in law was from Ireland and I’m very fond of colcannon with a lovely puddle of melted butter!

Proper traditional Colcannon is made with savoy cabbage or kale - so Yes! Add a few scallions, and a couple of slices of gammon - Yummy!
