Kilcar, Donegal Ireland – Wool Studio and Donegal Tweed – Earthy – Charming

Kilcar in Donegal is renown for their wool blends and gorgeous colours. Each season a new range of wool colours are developed – inspired from the countryside. Whether it be the blues and greys of the rocks, rusts and greens from the flora, purples and pinks from the heathers. Sand, beiges and blues from the stunning beaches. This old age way of dying and blending is well … Continue reading Kilcar, Donegal Ireland – Wool Studio and Donegal Tweed – Earthy – Charming

Donegal Fiddle Week – Robust – Trance – Mesmerising

I lucked out when I caught the bus on the wrong side of the road to go back to Dublin. Instead I turned up at Glencolmcille in time for Donegal Fiddle Week. This yearly event brings the best of the Donegal fiddle players together to teach – and around 100 players eager to learn come from around the globe to learn.

Muckross, Donegal – Hidden gem – Private – Serene

It was one of those random moments when someone asked me if I would like to go for a drive. I’d been at my computer solid for a few days and needed a break – so I jumped at the opportunity. Mind you, I had no idea where – it didn’t seem to matter. A short drive to the small coastal village of Kilcar then to Muckross, … Continue reading Muckross, Donegal – Hidden gem – Private – Serene

Cliffs of Moher, Ireland – Awe Inspiring – Impressive – Spectacular

Just about every tourist who comes to Ireland visits these impressive sea cliffs in country Claire. The west coast of Ireland displays many amazing cliffs.

Whether it is sunny, raining or overcast (as was my day) it is certainly awe-inspiring and a must to witness. … Continue reading Cliffs of Moher, Ireland – Awe Inspiring – Impressive – Spectacular

Glen Lough, Donegal – Desolate – Bold – Silent

It took me several months to finally trek to Glen Lough in Donegal. Waiting for a day of nil rain – haha around here this summer it was almost impossible. I’d also had very conflicting information about the terrain as there is no track and the exact location. Yet I wanted to see the house where Rockwell Kent (painter) and Dillon Thomas (Welsh poet) lived at one point in … Continue reading Glen Lough, Donegal – Desolate – Bold – Silent
