Peter Dowdall: Rhododendrons are at their best right now
Whether you re a gardening beginner or expert, Irish Examiner columnist Peter Dowdall has the answer to your questions
The Broad Walk, Kilmacurragh.
Peter Dowdall Often maligned because of one unruly family member, namely the species ponticum, rhododendron is a truly magnificent genus at their best during this time of the year. One of the best gardens in Ireland in which to enjoy them is Kilmacurragh in Wicklow and if this, one of our National Botanic Gardens is in your county, then count your blessings and get down there to enjoy it.

San Francisco mother Sara Lopes didn t even realize she d lost a part of herself until she got it back. I had been so consumed with both children and starting to work again that we hadn t had sex in maybe a year and a half, says Lopes, 41, whose first name has been changed to protect her privacy. Figuring out how to have dinners prepped, remembering to buy rain boots, paying our credit card bill, scheduling play dates, worrying about summer camps. I couldn t even think about my social life, let alone my sex life. Only after Lopes and her husband instituted Saturday night sex did the truth dawn on her: I had needs that I had absolutely forgotten about.
