I know. I know. I’ve been totally remiss about posting. Honestly, though I’ve not been slacking. We’ve been extremely busy with baby ducks, AirBnB guests, social media training, our new sheep (did I tell you we have sheep?)…. just so much has been going on.
I’ve about 500 blog posts half written (in my head)…. so I guess I’d better get the finger out and get them up here!!!
If we’ve had a couple of hours off, or just needed to get away from here for a few hours, we often just go exploring locally. Do you feel that sometimes you are so busy with your life, that you hardly notice what’s right on your doorstep?
Saturday was one of those days, so we took a little time off and went to a local village – Terryglass. If you’ve ever been to Terryglass I doubt if you would forget it. It has to be one of the prettiest villages in the country. The village itself is a few minutes walk from the shore of Lough Derg – on Saturday there was lots of activity on the shoreline with boats and jet-skiers.
The village was also busy, well it does have two lively and award winning pubs! They’re quite famous too – Paddy’s Pub and The Derg Inn. Nice places to stop for a coffee, a pint or a meal.
We also had a browse through a new shop – Revived and Retro – based in the old church. They are doing some very interesting things with disused chairs and doors… well worth a visit.
I want a garden like this! Seriously isn’t it beautiful?
If you’re down this way a great time to visit Terryglass is during the annual Arts Festival which this year takes place from 12th to 16th August…. always a great festival and wonderful atmosphere.
So when are you coming on a visit? Terryglass is only 10 minutes away from us!
