Ireland 1847
Asenath Nicholson “When I stood in the burying-ground, I saw the brown silken hair of a young girl, waving gently through a little cleft of stones, that lay loosely upon her young breast.

Sheep’s Head Peninsula is a finger of land protruding into the Atlantic Ocean in West Cork. Part of the Wild Atlantic Way and sandwiched between the larger Mizen Peninsula to the south and the Beara Peninsul to the north. The peaceful remoteness is calming and the views are spectacular. This is a walkers paradise, some of the trails are challenging so hiking boots or trainers needed for sure. Thank you for your visit I hope you enjoy.

Glengariff is a small seaside village on the Ring Of Beara surrounded by rugged mountains pocked with old bogs that are farmed for peat. We had a perfect Irish day mild, warm even and so lovely. This is a wide angle view of the bay from where we took a boat trip out to Garnish Island (Ilnacullin). Thank you for your visit I hope you enjoy.

An aerial wide angle shot of The Old Head Of Kinsale and this famous exclusive links golf course. Can you see the wind with the light Irish rain falling sideways. The gale force winds can take your breath away and knock you off your feet. Mother Nature plays games out here and that’s why people love it. Thank you for your visit I hope you enjoy.

Guess who’s finally going back to #Ireland in the summer?!
I’ve missed this piece of my soul so so much and I’m very exited to show it to my son. After three times up and down #TheWildAtlanticWay it’ll be our first time in the south-east. I’m looking forward to the Wicklow Mountains! If you have tips or are in the area (looking at you @davidhope and @digbyscully) let me know!
