Add some extra goodness to your day with a bowl of this simple traditional Irish seaweed soup.
Since moving to Belfast from the Fermanagh Lakelands a few years ago I've incorporated local coastal seaweeds into harbour city living to great advantage.

Last Sunday I found solace amidst the whirlwind of life's challenges on an impromptu trip to Rosses Point beach with my darling husband (who sat and played cards on his iPad while I foraged on the beach.)
The gentle lapping of waves, the crisp tang of sea air, and the meditative crunch of my boots on the rocky shore provided an escape I hadn't realised I needed. #seaweed #foraging #Sligo https://t.co/yQQRYAuzK8

Finding Peace in a White Feather on the Beach

This post is more a form of self-therapy for me today, inspired by a little white feather on the beach.

Crawfordsburn Beach, nestled within the expansive beauty of Crawfordsburn Country Park, is a serene retreat on the coast of Northern Ireland.
October brings a unique transformation to this landscape.

As I made my Dragon Fruit Pear Smoothie with sea moss gel jam, I felt a sense of completion. The sea moss I had gathered was now nourishing me, much like the storm had provided for the birds.

Life could be tough as a child growing up in Northern Ireland in the 1970s.

Can you take seaweed from the beach in Northern Ireland? That was the first question I needed answered as I began spending most weekends foraging along the coastline.
