Up here in Canada, we wait all winter for summer and then summer just zips on by and we wonder where it went. We are too busy running hither and tither to take the time to smell the roses (or little purple weedy flowers) and pick the goodness from the earth while abundant and ripe. [...]

When I visit new places, I tend to form opinions on them in two ways- either if I could live there or if it makes a great holiday spot. Kinvara (which I kept calling Kinarva), a small town on the West Coast of Ireland falls into the first category. I could live here. This town [...]
