Travels through Connemara

On the evening of th4 25th of June I went down a little track west of Spiddal, to the coastline.
The evening was cloudy and warm. In the distance I could see the the coast of Clare and the Arran Islands. I took this little snapshot as a beautiful trad tune played on the radio.

Travels around the Ring of Kerry June 2012

Had a lovely, if damp , trip around the ring of Kerry last week calling on Gift shops.

Met some lovely people and expanded our number of stockists.

Between Glenbeigh and Killorglin I came across the Kerry Bog Village.
Its an amazing place with a large number of houses replicating those of 18th Century Ireland.

 Here the animals shared the house with the people. Often children slept above the animals and were glad in winter nights of the heat rising from them.

Of course, being Ireland, a grand soft day was provided.
