I took a short trip to County Roscommon to visit the Bluebell Forest and came across this cute donkey too. The weather was nice and it really makes all the difference. I am looking forward to the summer months and exploring the countryside.

Have you ever been to Lough Key Forest Park near Boyle in County Roscommon. It is a lovely place to go for a day out or a Sunday evening. Here are a few photographs I took when I visited at the weekend. We went for a walk around the park. There are lots of activities- playgrounds, zip wires, tree top canopy walks, caravan and camping and electric bikes and segways for hire. I would highly recommend it for a day out. For more info visit the website Lough Key Forest and Activity Park

I know we have a few more weeks to go, but I couldn't resist posting this cute Christmas Advert from John Lewis on my blog. Hope you enjoy if you haven't seen it yet. It is so sweet :)

 

 

Today I went for a lovely walk in the woods with my mother, everywhere looks so nice when the weather is good. The bluebells are almost ready to bloom and the birdsong was amazing. Take a look at my photographs below and you can explore this lovely woodland with me.

Are any of you looking for the perfect coffee table, kitchen table or other solid wood items???

Well I came across something unique and hand crafted using the best of local solid timber-

Hello Everyone, I hope your enjoying your weekend, the weather was awful here in Ireland last night but today it is dry and sunny :) So hopefully that will last. Here is a photograph I took of the evening sky yesterday evening

My rug is coming along very very slowly, here is a photograph of it so far,

Thursday evening I was in town and bought these lovely storage boxes, they are really pretty. I have put my cross stitch and craft materials into them. They were so cheap €6.00 for the three of them at Dunnes Stores.

Now as the weather is nice, Im off to the woods for a walk, I might bring my camera along so I can take you for a walk through a woodland of Ireland later :)
