Wimbledon Ladys final today & i arrived in time to watch in TV in Dunmanus Cottage, West Cork. Remember Aunty Doll who built this house in 1960s, to return on holidays from her nursing job in London. Doll loved watching tennis on the black & white TV. Wimbledon was special with afternoon tea , strawberries + cream served by Flo. For some reason the local Garda used to call most afternoons during Wimbledon …& stay to end of matches. They were considered a bit odd in West Cork in 1970s to be watching tennis from London - now we watch in colour.

Monbretia one of Iris family, also called Crocosmia is found all over west Cork & our garden. This beautiful plant is also an invasive species & very difficult to remove from a garden - so keep in pots! It lines the lanes of West Cork & walking route.
