So proud of my wife Lily for getting this far. It's so well deserved and her small business is just her juggling work around our 4 year old. If you have a minute to vote for her in the Gift Category the link is irishcountrymagazine.ie/vote…

New work from the 'About Time' joint exhibition with @concreteforest_ on sale at Grey Heron West Cork until 30th August. This rose made up of Gingko leaves is called 'Ukiyo' which means a 'floating, fleeting, or transient world' in Japanese. @DCCIreland #MADELOCAL #time

Putting noggins in for plaster boarding. I cut over 150 of these and don't think a single two were the same size. Keeping me on my toes.. #noggins #slowrenovation #renovation #selfbuild #selfbuildireland #concreteforest
I'm working on new work that I can't share at the moment so here's a photo of my wife Lily's work. She works from home as an illustrator as well as minding our little girl full-time. Major kudos to all the parents juggling childcare with work right now- it's no easy feat!
Ferns on a forest floor. Expertly hand bound in Ireland with linen bookcloth by @duffybookbinder, this A5 notebook is perfect for taking out and about for sketching and writing (or just curling up with at home with a coffee which is a lot easier to do these days!) #petaltopetal

As well as being a café, @oneillcoffee has a shop and supports local roasters like @westcorkcoffee, stocks work by @WarriorBotanica and has exhibited work by West Cork artists Shane O' Driscoll and @PetaltoPetal. Nice one! 👏🏻 #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses #supportthearts

Now is the time to support the small and independent businesses that we love. The ones we want to visit, to drink and eat at, to meet up with friends and family at, to buy gifts from. #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses #supportthearts #buyirish #pledgend

There's a great initiative at the moment where people are buying vouchers to support businesses that they want to be here when our economy goes back to 'normal'. Here's mine, for @oneillcoffee - my favourite local with the best coffee and banter around. #supportlocal #buyirish
