Ard Nahoo

I’ve done it again. Fridays are just such a busy day at Ard Nahoo that unfortunately the blog suffers. But never again! As of next Friday, I will not rest until the Friday Five is complete. So here is the last ever Saturday Six…

1. Ard Na Zoo is getting a little crowded. Although with one in the window and one out the door, nature has a way of balancing itself out. Although I’m not sure the fish see it that way….we have a heron. And as we have a heron, we no longer have any fish. There are a few little ones who managed to hide in time, but the others weren’t so lucky. We’re going to build a scareheron, but does anyone else have any ideas?

2. We are in desperate need of Broadband. There is a high chance that we are the only business in the land who still have to listen to the dial up tones of Ye Olde Internet. If anyone knows of any company who can provide, then please, please, PLEASE pass on their details.

3. Our Family Eco Retreat is now planned, scheduled, and being-looked-forward-to. July 4th - 11th will be the week of fun filled activities for the kids, family evenings, and chances for the parents to relax. Most importantly, Ard Nahoo offers 6 acres for the kids to explore, far away from anything resembling traffic. More details can be found on our website, or contact us directly.

4. We have a new Wwoofer with us this week, Naoko from Japan. Wwoof (Worldwide Workers on Organic Farms) is an organisation that links willing workers with hosts all around the world. We regularly have wwoofers here, and they are an integral part of Ard Nahoo.

5. Don’t think I’d forgotten about the Bread War. The recipes are ready to go online, and we already have one fascinated observer in the form of Olga at the Greenbox. I think I know which side she’s veering towards, but it’ll be won fair and square. By me.

6. We’ve had quite a few group bookings recently. Healthy Hen Parties, yoga groups, writer’s organisations and corporate events have been interested in using Ard Nahoo as their facility. Groups can avail of the Uisce Hour, a yoga class, holistic therapies, meeting room and organic food. If you are part of a group who would like to use Ard Nahoo, please get in touch.

There’s another Saturday Six! Have a great weekend.
