Season 1

In the Kitchen - Chicken Casserole One-pot

Join me in the kitchen while I prep and cook a tasty one-pot slow cook dish for a chilly March evening. 8 chicken thighs, baby potatoes, carrots, onions, peas, lentils, tomatoes, stock.

In the Garden - from one extreme to another

Join me for a quick round-up of things that are working in the garden and how some plants bounce back in the face of adversity.

In the Kitchen - Mushroom pasta bake

Keep me company while I make a tasty mushroom pasta dish that is really easy (if a bit longwinded!) 3x punnets of mushrooms, 1x punnet baby plum tomatoes, large block of feta (400g), pasta of your choice, tin of tomatoes, pasta sauce

Ambient - Windchimes

Enjoy 20 minutes of peaceful windchimes with the breeze stirring through the trees.

In the Garden - Jobbing around

Take a walk with me around the garden while I do a few jobs that need to be done.

In the garden - Updates

Join me for a walk around the garden while we have a look at how the lack of rain and hot weather has affected the plants.

Ambient - Songbirds (but different)

Today I have an ambient experience with a difference. I was lucky enough to attend a community concert that was held in a local library so the quality of the sound may not be on a professional level, but… imagine yourself in the room and immerse yourself in the joy these songs are giving to those listening. The first two songs are sung by Mini Byrne with piano accompaniment by Angela Reynolds, the musical director for the community singing group, the Songbirds. The Songbirds is an all-female group made up of members around Ballymahon, County Longford and has been established since 2023. Tommy Reynolds also adds his wonderful voice for this special occasion for a few toe-tappers. I hope you enjoy a little departure from the norm.

In the Kitchen - Gazpacho!

Join me while I create a no-cook wonderfully refreshing summer soup that you keep in the fridge and have cold. Gazpacho is made with fresh, raw ingredients and tastes like summer. 1x cucumber, 1x tin chopped tomatoes, 1x red bell pepper, 1x red onion, 2x slices bread, garlic, red wine vinegar Apologies for the static (I forgot to put my equipment on airplane mode!)

Ambient - Indistinct Chatter

Enjoy the white noise of indistinct chatter for 15 minutes.

In the Kitchen - Super Salad

Join me in the kitchen while I throw together a really easy salad from common kitchen ingredients. It is healthy and nutritious as well as being delicious and customisable. Chickpeas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, dressing.
