Last chance to bid or donate to this worthy cause. Auction ends at 7pm on Sunday, 1st May.

Home for Home is a travel auction, offering participants the chance to stay in some of the world’s most beautiful and exclusive homes, with all proceeds directly benefiting much needed aid relief efforts in the Ukraine. The brainchild of our dear friend Josephine Ryan, author, interiors expert and stylist, the collection comprises 30 properties located across the globe, many of which are not typically available to rent. Homes listed include Neuendorf House, a design-led Mallorcan villa created by world renowned architects John Pawson and Claudio Silvestrin and Thyme, the much loved 31 bedroom bolthole found in the heart of the Cotswolds as well as a night’s stay at Ballyvolane House.

Introducing Bertha in a can.

We are delighted to launch two Bertha ready to drink offerings: the Bertha & Tonic and the Bertha Summer Cup.

Attractively packaged, convenient and rather tasty. Great for picnics, parties and festivals … and of course just to have in the fridge at home for a quick thirst quencher.

The Bertha & Tonic has a lovely citrus flavour with a nice hit of gin, while the Summer Cup is the perfect refreshing summer punch to enjoy on a sunny day!

They’ll be in shops soon.

We planted 300 trees in recent weeks at Ballyvolane House. The trees were donated by ‘Trees on the Land’, a charity and not-for-profit project working to establish young native trees across the 32 counties of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

We planted a mix of oak, Scots Pine, alder, birch, hawthorn and apple.

Massive thanks to Trees on the Land and also to the Dream Team of tree-planters, Maia, Oscar, Jamie, Fleur and Dumpling (the terrier).
