This is our family cottage in the Mourne Mountains. It’s a traditional Irish cottage dating back to 1700’s, that my parents Rosemary and Stanley bought in 1976.

Meadow season is in full swing and we're loving every moment. Everywhere you look, fields and meadows are packed with grasses, clover, buttercups and daisies. It's dreamy out there... As you can guess from our name, fields are definitely our thing, and we're not above a spot of bribery to get our next fix…We're giving away a set of  Meadow Hand...

My daughter Grace and I gathered this bunch of wild beauties last night on our evening walk. Look closely and you'll see there's four varieties; each different in fragrance and colour... and sharpness of thorns, as my hands will testify!

It's hard to choose isn't it? And waaay too much stress for a Friday. With our soap quartet you don't have to, with the FieldDay 'Fab Four' classic scents in one cute pack, bringing all your faves together.

We love being ambassadors for weeds. These beautiful, ordinary native scents that Ireland is bursting with. We delight in celebrating them.

They're everywhere. Probably a patch growing mere metres from you... One of the most avoided and overlooked wild weeds; the enemy of bare legs and ankles everywhere. Yes, we're talking nettles...
