Gardai say 10 per cent of drink drivers was detected between the hours of 6am-6pm

I’m sure that it’s certain to irk
If you’re caught while you’re going to work
But a single night’s sleep
After driving won’t keep
You from driving like a dangerous jerk

Via Perennial:

To help mark its 180th anniversary, UK based garden charity Perennial has partnered with Irish garden designer Peter Donegan with a show garden for RHS Flower Show Cardiff (April 12-14).

It is the first time the horticulture trade charity has exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society Flower Show and the first time Peter (or any Irish designer) has had designs accepted to the prestigous flower show.

In November 2018 Peter was selected by a French jury to represent Ireland to design and realise the Irish WW1 Centenary Peace Garden at Chateau de Peronne in the Somme region of Northern France and see the garden in the dried up moat of the 13th century castle to completion. This will be Peter’s first public garden since his return.

After RHS Cardiff, the garden will be redesigned and relocated to Veterans Growth in East Sussex, a charity who run horticultural therapy courses for ex-service men and women who have been diagnosed with mental illness.

In fairness.

While the EU battles over a new, almost as bitter Brexit: whether we should still change the clocks every 6 months, the stretch in the Irish evenings is officially upgraded to “GRAND”.

But what do we do with all of those much sought after additional hours of brightness?
