Fun with Jim and Julia Beary
March may be one of the busiest months of the year on farms but we have noticed that for some reason it is also one of the most fun and a bit of madness one’s on Twitter. I’m convinced it’s the long hours and late nights that drive us to particularly this platform for a quick chat, check in with the rest of the world and bit of farming solidarity banter.
We had a serious laugh in the last few weeks with two farmers from the UK – Jim Beary and his wife Julia. It all started on 11th March when I came across this tweet:
Blooming Lovely – we’re on the road to Ireland’s Largest Garden Festival!
Nervous but excited about out first trade stand Bloom which is just 4 days away. We’ve spent the last few days finalising our stand layout and getting everything in place. Bloom is open to the public on Thursday 31st until June 4th and our plans are well in place…
Pink Valentines with Peter Hynes – Embrace Farm Fundraiser 2018
There is nothing we love more than good craic especially when it’s for a good cause. Many of you will know that Pretty Bird has struck up a great friendship with the Hynes Family in Aherla, Co. Cork. Peter and Paula and their daughters Chloe, Becky and Georgie have been great supporters of ours from the get go and have become our biggest brand advocates.
So when a joke started on Twitter that we needed to get Peter Hynes into a pair of pink overalls like the rest of the family, it wasn’t long until the idea sparked something and #pinkvalentines was born.

Pretty Bird – what’s in a name?
Miss Muck, Funky Farmerette I can’t even begin to recall all the names that I thought of calling this business but none of them stuck until we hit on the name Pretty Bird. 3 months on I’ve had some interesting feedback on our business name so I felt like I should share my thoughts on our business name and why for me it’s was a winner.

Pretty Bird flying in Connacht Tribune
A couple of weeks back, I had a lovely telephone chat with Frank Kenneddy Editor of the Connacht Tribune about our business. Always happy to spotlight, new and innovative businesses and news from around the region, we were deligthed to speak to Frank and tell him out story.
Out of farm and into the world of farm fashion!
Given that our ranges are designed for working in and me myself is more at home in the milking parlour than backstage dressing models at a fashion show, you might imagine how much like a fish out of water I was immersed in the world of catwalk fashion at the National Ploughing Championships but I have to say it was fun!

Slash Careers – not as dangerous as they sound!
It was so great to meet Irish Times journalist Sean Dunne at the National Ploughing Championships. Sean did what a lot of journalists do now and put a call out on Twitter for Ploughing stories ahead of attending the event. Lorna Sixsmith, who has become a great friend to our business tipped me off about Sean’s tweet so I popped him an email telling him a little about the launch of our new business. Read More
