    I visited Ireland a couple years ago not knowing what to expect, with not too much excitement. Damn! Was I surprised! I could hardly believe how wonderful it is. I did not want to leave and plan to go back. It’s absolutely beautiful, the flora and fauna, and the pubs, the people, were delightful.

    What a lovely man! Nature fascinates me too, but I draw the line at spiders and snakes only because here in Australia, so many are life threatening. And this is why I am dreaming of moving to Ireland, no snakes, harmless spiders and of course, lovely people like John, the mild wet climate, the amazing history and the music!

    Hi Jonh, Please could you advise me on a crimsom queen acer, we left it to get bone dry for couples of weeks we where away, What is the best way to recover it?, we put water on it, and it seem to be stop dropping the leaves, but still look a bit sad. Thanks very much.

    Do you like aphids?
    I hate lupin aphids. I have to spray them and this also kills bumble bees and other beneficial insects. This means 90 percent of the lupins have to die this autumn and this makes me very sad. I cannot do things to harm bumble bees like planting lupins and then having the problems of getting rid of lupin aphids. I now do not spray anymore. I just remove the lupins which have lupin aphids and this makes me very sad so I do not harm any bumble bees and beneficial insects.

    No, no, no! You do not need to add music for God's sake! It does NOTHING for video and takes away from John's words.
