Life After the Storm: Community & Recovery 🌱
In today’s video, join me as I take you through life after the storm here in rural Ireland. 🌱 From fallen trees blocking the garden to power outages lasting over a week, I’m sharing the challenges we’ve faced and the lessons we’ve learned about storm recovery, preparedness, and the incredible strength of community. You’ll see the damage done to our smallholding, including the wrecked polytunnel and downed electric cables, but also the steps we’re taking to rebuild—like clearing debris, setting up alternative power sources, and making sure we’re better prepared for the future. The resilience of our neighbors and the community spirit have been a true testament to how people come together in tough times. If you live in rural areas or are interested in gardening, smallholding life, or surviving power cuts, this one’s for you! I’m also sharing some must-have tips, from investing in an EcoFlow generator to keeping a butane gas hob on hand for emergencies. Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel—it means the world to me! If you’re new here, I’d love for you to subscribe and join this journey of smallholding, gardening, and community resilience.
