We were delighted to deliver new seeds to Stephanie in the Gather Community Store this week.

Why not buy local seeds in your amazing local store?

I also found a lovely book about chillies there. Perfect timing for starting chillies!

Probably the worst weather I've experienced in the 5 years since I moved to Ballinspittle. There's a weather warning for Dublin though.

5 childhood defining events (Irish edition)

* The unemployment crisis of 1984/85
* Moving statues in Ballinspittle
* Euro '88
* Condoms on sale in the Virgin Megastore
* Zig & Zag joining Dempsey's Den
5 childhood defining events

- Thatcherism/privatisation (direct effect on my family)*
- British home computer boom
- HIV/AIDS epidemic
- Ethiopian famine/Band Aid
- Fall Of The Berlin Wall**

*Falklands War/Miners Strike are downstream from "Thatcher in general" I guess
5 events that defined your childhood?
- HIV & queerphobia & public health response
- Clinton & childhood insight that he was shitty
- MTV's influence on music access (especially things like Headbanger's Ball, Yo Mtv Raps & Nirvana)
- "end" of the Soviet Union
- home computers (internet was later)

Forty years ago this week, a small Cork village — some 8km southwest of Kinsale — became nationally and internationally famous.

Even today, mention of Ballinspittle will remind many of the curious events of the wet summer of 1985.
