Lá Fheile Bríde

Today, February 1, Lá Fheile Bríde is in Ireland traditionally considered the first day of spring. Whether or not it is spring, the days are getting longer and even if the world has been turned upsdie down, there are hints of hope in the air.

Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson spoke elegantly on Morning Ireland today.

At the end of the interview she referred to President Donald Trump as being a bully and how important it is to stand up to bullies.

Spotted in the gardens of St Luke's Hospital today, St Brigid's Day.

And these days Venus is brightly shining. It's as close as it gets to Earth.
