September Nature Notes Cattle are still out in the fields. When the weather becomes wetter and colder, they will probably be brought into sheds for the winter. Or they will be moved to dryer ground and fed out in the fields when the grass dies back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1537980083420-UXRGVVFMP9QEX5MZSVBN/Japanese+maple+turns+a+vivid+colour+in+late+September September Nature Notes In the garden, Japanese maple leaves turn to red and orange in late September.

We need to cut them down before the seed spreads everywhere. They’re one of the most difficult weeds to eradicate from gardens as they have long roots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1537980509468-45TCQZSYI7C4WS9GZLQS/Rowan+trees+in+folklore+helped+protect+your+home+against+witches.+Every+garden+should+have+one%21 September Nature Notes Rowan trees beginning to turn orange.

Its pale wood is used for making hurleys (sticks for hurling), furniture and it is also popular as firewood. The ash is useful for coppicing as it will regrow after being cut back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1538477635837-NF5IL1ZFWBUZ6K8RCQ5F/Purple+heather+flowering+on+bogland+and+heath+in+early+September+Ireland September Nature Notes Purple heather flowers in acid soil on bog and moorland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1537980366567-QT14PGKTY1WURG30U8F9/A+hedgerow+is+still+green+in+Ireland+after+our+warm+summer September Nature Notes Our hedgerows are still mostly green along the lane that runs across bogland.

It rapidly dies back after the first frost. The plant is toxic and if eaten in large quantities by livestock can prove fatal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1538475720425-QFIS0ACGQ4Z4NUMJWZ3R/Crab+apple+windfalls+on+a+lane+in+Ireland+early+September+apple+jelly September Nature Notes Crab apple windfalls on a lane in early September.

I suspect it might be the one on the left but is it dressed in a rabbit suit? And what is the hairy creature in the middle? Another dog or just another fluffy blanket? An amusing photograph taken in County Waterford. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610733439895-8DOTXJ1QUNCHWXHRORR5/NL+-+1901+-+Baby+in+basket+saddle.jpg Victorian Families This baby is starting early and looks happy in the basket saddle.

They didn’t come from a privileged home and took part in a rent boycott, ending up having to fight off the police and bailiffs during an eviction from the home their family had living in for generations. The girls wielded pitchforks and threw boiling water over their attackers. They were arrested and sent to jail but eventually allowed back to their home after a settlement was agreed upon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610733874852-R70B9AFKJEDHP6HFFLL5/Two+girls+with+their+large+dog+1888.jpg Victorian Families These two little ones in the late 1880s provided inspiration for Grace Thornton’s younger sisters, Irene and Nora in the novel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610735111175-Y3DZP6NS42FIL4H11FP0/Three+children+in+the+early+twentieth+century.jpg Victorian Families Another sweet family portrait from County Tipperary. The little girl on the left looks like an amusing character and my character Harriet probably had a mischievous smile like her when she was younger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610733990797-Q1PXRT6YOKOZRKW87HKN/Two+girls+in+1890.jpg Victorian Families Two young ladies in 1890 who remind me of the two eldest cousins in The Family Shadow.

Many of these thatched cottages still exist today and Adare is a popular tourist destination as it is a designated heritage village. The fictional village of Ardlackan in County Wexford in the novel looked a bit like this in the 1890s. https://www.suzannewinterly.com/january-garden daily 0.75 2021-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610899507080-JHI3YV1MW82HL0PKQPC5/Helleborus+niger+-+wine+-+shutterstock_SMALL+copy.jpeg January Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610815336200-1Z8FW2P0QRC7P3YDZJ3X/Snowdrop+in+January+Suzanne_Winterly_author.JPG January Garden Galanthus (Snowdrop) - A cheerful sight in the depths of winter, snowdrops are easy to grow in swathes under trees, in lawns or flower borders. They multiply on their own and can be dug up, divided and transplanted as soon as the flowers have finished. There are many different varieties and it’s fun to collect them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610889981365-7X12HARJIM70MTM1O2BS/Sarcococca+hookeriana+var.+digyna+Suzanne+Winterly+author.JPG January Garden Another fragrant winter flowering shrub is Sarcocca hookeriana var. The variety digyna has a great perfume. They are compact shrubs with leathery leaves that prefer fairly fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Will grow to about 1.5 metres in height so useful for smaller gardens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1611055718599-AY72NEIF8GOZ4W1O2BWP/Landscape+Restoration+-+Mahonia+sunset.jpg January Garden Mahonia japonica flowers in winter, even on Christmas day.

You can also grow it in a pot in a greenhouse or conservatory or in a container on the patio. This plant likes well-drained neutral or slightly alkaline soil. Easy to grow. Propagate by lifting and separating the bulbs in early Autumn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610892411715-M5ECDYBQ5LNDG9FANC3Y/Chimonanthus+praecox+-+shutterstock_SMALL+copy.jpeg January Garden Chimonanthus praecox has a wonderful perfume in the winter garden. It will grow up to at least 2.5 metres against a wall and likes a sheltered position in full sun. Useful for informal gardens, city and courtyard gardens and larger flower and shrub borders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610892789447-B2J25B1KY8A8OB4BJLWH/Daphne+bholua+-+shutterstock_SMALL+copy.jpeg January Garden Daphne bholua ‘Jacqueline Postill’ is a very fragrant evergreen or semi-evergreen bushy shrub with leathery leaves and purple-pink and white flowers that grow in clusters in late winter. The flowers are followed by black berries. Highly toxic if eaten! This Daphne likes fertile, moist but well-drained soil and will grow up to two and a half metres in height. Plant in a sheltered position as it isn’t completely hardy. It likes neutral or alkaline soil. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1610894358967-3F03VXAU4W3IZ1XJLD8K/Hamamelis+mollis+-+Suzanne+Winterly+author.jpeg January Garden Witch Hazel, or Hamamelis mollis, bears fragrant yellow to red flowers in mid-winter to early spring. It is a deciduous shrub that grows from 2.5 metres to 4 metres. Witch Hazel likes a moist and neutral to acid soil (not tolerant to lime).

It spanned 45 metres of the River Liffey and was 50 metres in width. You can see famous landmarks at this time: the newly erected statue of Daniel O’Connell at the far side of the bridge, the General Post Office (GPO) with its pillars on the left half way up the street and Nelson’s Column at the top in the centre, which had to be taken down in 1966 after it was damaged by an explosive attack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2c31e02aeba5ba52d8dac7/1621853717070-CRN6Y4W25G78QYSQD9P5/NL+-+1907+Limerick+Railway+Station+with+different+carriages.jpg Victorian Towns and People This is Limerick Railway Station in 1907 with an array of carriages awaiting the arrivals.
