My dream home



A number of years ago Isobel drew two pictures of what she hoped for and called them 'My dream home'.
The reality now is remarkably close to her vision.
Well done Izzy!

The Island



We spent an amazing weekend on an Island on Lough Corrib. It was wet and it was cold., but we had fun. We fished and eat off a fire. The food was great. Tasted like smoke! The kids named Island Faggot Island for reasons best known to themselves! We took the boat out on the choppy waters and survived. Hannagh and Finn pitched the tent we slept in. Twas a rough night. "Ahoi! Faggot Island!"

Pearl's chicks


Pearl's chicks spent their first full day outside wandering in the wild wide world and had their first encounter with Geimhreidh (geevra) , our oversized white cat, who is as big as most dogs we know.

Horses


We were blessed with Sweetie on the 12 of March in 2006. She's got sweet itch but that doesn't reflect on her name, she is sweet.
We were blessed with Monty in October last year. Fat as they are they are as cute as they are lovely!
Sweetie: Grey
Monty: Bay

The newest arrivals


Swallows nested in the shed and the four chicks have just fledged. This photo was taken when they were about a week old.
