Link Within

Just a short post today on the Link Within gadget! I saw this on Catherine's blog Dispatches from the Deise and Lynda's Blog Foodfunfarm. I followed the link and got it on my own blog I was actually seeing posts I had completely forgotten about!
When I changed the background the link within did not change so the writing was unreadable. I went back to the site and emailed them thinking I may never receive a reply or it will be too technical, but no! A couple of hours later I got a lovely email saying they had visited my blog and it was now updated, which it was! I think that is excellent service in this day and age and deserves a mention.

It's a great gadget, I agree ! A fellow blogging friend of mine also had a query & got a reply from Link Within very soon, they helped her to sort her problem out, too - great service, as you say :)

Relax with those mags,My wife has alot to answer for, she didn't like it there, but then I suppose it really wasn't the place to rear the kiddies or if you had medical problems. Do miss the constant sunshine, but hey if I had stayed I'd probably never have come across u'r blog :-)

Thanks for the heads up on this little gadget Peggy - it's great. I added it to mine and am, like you, amazed to rediscover old posts.
I'll be blogging again soon.... it's been a while.

Hi Peggy- glad you like the linked within gadget, I dunno anymore where I first found it but it is all experimenting with me -if I see something I like I try to add it, sometimes it works, sometimes not. I was trying to add a podcast thingy today but it failed. I was trying to link someone to the Axles of Evil podcast from the excellent RTE 1 Documentary on One Radio prog. on Sunday nights 7pm.
Someone was on a blog talking about status symbols and how caught up people became in things like jeeps for the school run (and who never went off-road) and I wanted to share it with them. So I will send the link instead via a post. KISS works better sometimes! (Keep It Simple Silly -or stupid if you feel rude!)
I have a post on Devonshire Day in the castle good to go, just need to add pix. It was a great day. Wondered if you would make it!
All the best
Catherine.

Faux Stone Trough

Image
The word faux is a really nice word,somehow it does not seem to mean false, just a kind of copy! I had read about making these stone looking troughs or flower pots and again it was on my list of things to try.With my supply of donated flower pots I decided this was as good a time as any.The first pic is of the completed trough or tub filled with compost waiting on plants. I began with a plain white plastic tub, it does not have to be white it can be any colour.Glue ,I used PVA which was painted on thickly and left to get tacky and either sand or I used a mix of small stones and sand, sold in the builders suppliers as 'filling'. It is not a quick job to do as each side is pasted, shake on the sand thickly and press down to dry, I also did the opposite inside edge. I left it overnight each time but if it was sunny and warm it would probably dry faster.The first side drying, when it is dry shake off the excess leaving a thin covering. The final application and it is completed onl...

Tumbling Pots

Image
I have seen these tumbling pots in magazines and blogs from time to time, the latest being in KeeWees garden , having got a number of terracotta pots from one of my daughters who was clearing out her shed I decided to give it a go!They look stunning when the flowers have settled in, I had toyed with the idea of putting in strawberry plants which would also look great but having grandchildren around I don't think I would have a lot of strawberries from it! You need terracotta pots with one central drainage hole and in different sizes. First I had to go to B&Q to get the metal rod to support the pots, I also got the pansies there. Place the pot where you intend to leave it permanently as it cannot be moved easily once completed.Place the rod through the drainage hole and fill the pot with compost, it is easier to fill each pot as you go and firm down well. Slide the second pot onto the rod through the hole, this one will rest partly on the compost as well.Slide the remainder of t...

I am back from a few days in Co Clare.The matchmaking festival is in full swing for the month of Sept,as it is every year for generations.It has become a month long dance and music event also with dancing commencing at 12 o'clock every day in various venues and continuing around the town and outside until 3 am. It was my first visit and I had a ball!People come from all over the world and every county in Ireland was represented.A matchmaker is in residence in this famous pub (where else) and for a small fee will match anyone up for a week or for life! Couples come back every year who have met in Lisdoonvarna and since married! I did not avail of his services preferring the dancing !Lots of videos on Youtube, just type in Lisdoonvarna. The Burren is a few miles from Lisdoonvarna and is a protected area which is now a National Park, what looks at first sight to be barren rock has in fact rare species of plants growing in crevices.It is a breathtaking sight and no single photo could...
