Ard Nahoo

1. It’s finally summer. Earlier this week we went for a quick dip in the lake, which, let me tell you, was refreshing to say the least. Once you get over the slight paralysis and feelings symptomatic of a stroke, it’s actually lovely. Gorgeous clear water and not a monster to be found.

2. Tomorrow I’ll be attending a photo masterclass up in Mullaghdun, in association with the Greenbox. There have been great reports from others who have completed the course, so hopefully in the next few weeks you’ll see some beautiful photos of Ard Nahoo up on the blog.

3. Leon Quinn at www.reverbstudios.ie tuned us in to this great site www.jumbletown.ie which has loads of free listings for Ireland. Check it regularly, and then pick up your items! We’ve spotted some great stuff on there already.

4. Do you remember the wonderful cuckoo I wrote about a few weeks ago? Well, it turns out he’s nocturnal. I’m not so enamoured with the cuckoo now, let me tell you. Does anyone have any tips? Lullabyes? Sleeping pills in bird seed? Last year it was the magpies, now it’s the cuckoo. He’s haunting me.

5. With the fantastic weather we’re having, the Surf Yoga retreat is looking ever more appealing. Rescheduled to June 27th, contact paulebyrne@gmail.com for more information.
