Saltee Island
On Saturday I made one of my annual trips to the Saltee Islands off the coast of Wexford, in the southeast of Ireland. I love this spot, it is a great way to spend a few hours watching the wildlife and taking in the sounds of the sea. To get to the island you take …
Dylan Moran
Dylan is touring a show called Dr Cosmos at the minute, this evening it was in Vicar Street. He was absolutely hilarious and was quintessentially Dylan. I love how unfussy his stage is with no signage and just a table, stool and bottle of water. If you are a fan of his, this show is …

We have not had a huge amount of rain recently, which lead to incredibly low water levels. This area is really beautiful and a place that I frequently return too. …
Mount Usher Gardens
Enjoying the sights and sounds of Mount Usher Gardens in Ashford is always a wonderful way to spend a day. It was overcast and the river was at the lowest level I have ever seen it, so certain reflection shots were not possible. The lack of any breeze meant that it was a good day …
