Update on my fundraiser:

As you know, I don't charge visitors for an historic tour of the castle or for photo sessions on the grounds, but I offer the opportunity to donate towards Sheila's Cancer Campaign instead.
Thanks to your steadfast support, a couple of tours and a generous donation from a recent proposal - successful, obviously 😁 - I will be able to issue a cheque each to the Irish Cancer Society and the Milford Hospice.

It seems nature was holding back for a sunny day or two to literally explode with colours, and today, after two days of cherry blossom, the petals already begin to rain from the trees. Everything's in a mad rush for some reason...

2nd day the sun pelting from a blue sky, cherry blossom exploding within a day, bees, bumble bees and butterflies being busy - is it too early to call it, or am I jinxing it: Spring is finally here!

I appreciate it that this gloomy weather doesn't add to raise the mood.
Maybe a bit of distraction is good - this is my dinner for today:
Chicken breast cut into thin slices, add one chopped onion, one or two chopped cloves of garlic, and the chopped stem of broccoli. Spice chicken with black pepper, salt and according to taste a small bit of cayenne pepper. When the chicken is fried, add the rest plus vegetable stock and a generous amount of white wine and let it simmer for a while, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
Top it with steamed broccoli.
Best served with basmati rice or boiled potato.
Don't ask where I got the recipe from, I've been doing this since student times...

Enjoy, and greetings from the Castle

Patrick
