Not sure what has happened to the time but just realised that it is nearly three weeks since our last blog entry. Have managed some great walks – along the famine road at Mullaghmore, on the green road from Gortlecka to the high common at Parknabinnia and also the green road around Black Head (green roads are used to drive the cattle from A to B, definitely not roads for driving in the MGF, but good to walk on); some new experiences – signed up as volunteers to help with a survey of Daubenton Bats on local rivers ( which means that we get out on river banks late at night with Bat Detectors and head torches…..look out Dan Ackroyd!); Bought a new saw and have cut up a couple of the fallen trees on the edge of the paddock for winter fuel; went to a couple of local festivals – French market in Ennis was very disappointing, Seafood festival in Doonbeg was excellent while the final concert of the Willie Clancy Summer school in Milltown Malbay was incredible!
Had some friends from Edinburgh to visit – who brought generous supplies of Malt whisky and some new music. Despite some wet weather during their visit we still managed another great day sea fishing off Connemara. Also got locked in at Lowry’s Bar in Clifden while the band were still playing.
Am sure there will be more detail on some of these over the coming days but that’s it for now.
