February 1 is the first day of spring in Ireland. One of the first flowers, the dewy little snowdrop, is peeking up from the saturated grasses that are recovering from a very wet winter. Farmers Markets are starting up and Food Festivals are being planned. Mark your calendars for The Burren Slow Food Festival 2010 which is scheduled from Friday May 21st thru Sunday 23rd in Lisdoonvarna, Co. Clare. Check out my festival blog posting from May 2009 and the Slow Food Clare website for all the news and pictures of last years festivities. And, come to Lisdoonvarna for the craic, it will put a smile on your face!
