Berberis (Barberry)(Top Picture Above) The attractive, easy-to-grow, evergreen shrub Berberis (Barberry) loved for its abundant bright orange flowers, which are normally expected in late March to May, was in bloom yesterday, some 5 months early. These evergreens shrubs bear small blue-black shaded berries much loved by our feathered friends, (birds).
Primroses (Irish: Sabhaircín)(Bottom Picture Above) Meanwhile, our dainty and colourful wild primroses (from the Latin word ‘primus’, meaning ‘first’.) which can be found decorating grassy banks, woodlands and roadsides, have not been fooled and appear to be on schedule to bloom in early or mid-December.
Both the flowers and leaves of the Primrose are edible; the flavour ranging between mild lettuce and more bitter salad greens.
More importantly, Primroses are beneficial as an excellent early source of nectar for bees, as well as an attractive flower to brighten up your outdoor spaces.
Also keep in mind that according to Irish folklore, when primroses are positioned near your front doorway, same protects your home from an unwelcome visit by the fairies. In Ireland, fairies were blamed for stealing babies and children, especially boys with blue eyes and fair hair, leaving fairy substitutes in their place; so do take care. You have been warned.

Happy Birthday Ms Turner – You’re still simply “The Best”.
“The Best” Lyrics by Holly Knight and Mike Chapman.
I call you when I need you, when my heart’s on fire. You come to me, come to me, wild and wired. When you come to me give me everything I need. Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams. Speak the language of love, like you know what it means, And it can’t be wrong, take my heart and make it strong, baby, You’re simply the best, better than all the rest, Better than anyone, anyone I’ve ever met. I’m stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say. Tear us apart, baby, I would rather be dead. In your heart I see the start of every night and every day. In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away. Just as long as I’m here in your arms, I could be in no better place. You’re simply the best, better than all the rest. Better than anyone, anyone I’ve ever met. I’m stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say. Tear us apart, no, no, no, baby, I would rather be dead. Each time you leave me I start losing control. You’re walking away with my heart and my soul. I can feel you even when I’m alone, Oh, baby, don’t let go. You’re the best, better than all the rest. Better than anyone, anyone I’ve ever met. I’m stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say. Tear us apart, no, no, baby, I would rather be dead. Oh you’re the best. END
A current planning application seeking to build 28 hotel bedrooms in the vicinity of the Rock of Cashel, here in Co. Tipperary, has been described as outrageous by residents in Cashel.
This planning application follows a previous application last year for a similar project, which was subsequently withdrawn, due to the large number of objections.
Late Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away in September 2022, visited this site in 2011.
The proposed development (Ref 2260575) is seen as being detrimental to a bid by the Rock of Cashel site, to obtain UNESCO World Heritage Site nomination status; not to mention its impact on the immense history of the area.
We understand that not just locals, but Archaeologists, have objected to the planning application for the 28 hotel bedrooms; understood to be in two one-and-a-half-storey blocks, to be erected at Moor Lane in Cashel, on the southern base of the Rock.
The proposed application is seen as equivalent to developing a project a few metres from the great mound at Newgrange, Donore, Co. Meath.
Earlier this year, the Rock of Cashel tourist attraction was among three Irish applications sent for possible inclusion in the new ‘World Heritage Tentative List’ for Ireland, along with the 150 year old ‘Valentia Island Transatlantic Cable Station’; latter which heralded the birth of global communications, and the important ‘Passage Tomb Megalithic Complex’, which joins Carrowmore and Carrowkeel in west Co. Sligo.
In a submission sent to UNESCO, the Rock of Cashel is part of the Royal Sites of Ireland, which is strongly linked to myth and legend and associated with the transformation of Ireland from Paganism to Christianity.
Tipperary County Council officials, known for their failure to examine and protect Tipperary history, will accept submissions, on this application, up until November 28th next, with a decision expected to be announced on December 19th next.
Pre-deceased by her husband Bud, brother Paddy and sister Mary; Mrs Scanlan passed away peacefully while in the care of staff at Milbrae Lodge Nursing Home, Newport, Co. Tipperary.
