Sorry for the radio silence!

🙈 When you drop your phone in a lake, get a replacement, do the exact same thing, and then your PC decides to lose its mind... 🙃 Computer says NO.

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a fab summer! ☀️🤩

We stopped in Connemara for a bit of fishing and caught absolutely loads, much to someone's absolute delight! 🎣🐟

I have a new gra for Maam Cross 🥰

Heart of the Irish Cottage:

The Three-Legged Pot

If you travel down the rural roads of Ireland today, you’ll often spot an old, heavy cast iron three-legged pot sitting by a front gate or repurposed as a flower planter in a cottage garden.

But back in the day, this humble vessel was the absolute lifeblood of the Irish home.Long before modern stoves arrived, all cooking happened over the open hearth fire fueled by blocks of burning turf (peat). The three-legged pot—often called a bastible or skillet—was flawlessly engineered for this rustic life:

☘️ The Tripod Design: The three short legs kept the pot perfectly balanced and level right inside the uneven, glowing embers without crushing the fire underneath.

☘️ The Original Oven: For baking traditional Irish soda bread, hot coals were scooped directly onto the flat iron lid, baking the bread evenly from both the top and bottom to give it that signature, thick, crunchy crust.

☘️ The Flavor of the House: In Irish folklore, these pots were never washed with soap. Doing so was thought to wash away the family's good luck! Instead, they were cleaned with coarse salt and oil, absorbing decades of family history and recipes.

Passed down from mother to daughter as a prized wedding gift, these durable iron pots literally sustained generations through stews, porridges, and fresh bakes.

They are a physical symbol of Irish resilience, hospitality, and the warmth of the old family hearth.

Do you have one of these historic iron pots sitting in your garden, or remember your grandparents cooking with one?

Experiencing the legendary "all four seasons in one day" in the West!

☀️🌧️💨The Atlantic breeze is no joke, but the views make it all worth it. From warm sunshine 🌤️ to a quick passing torrential shower and back to blue skies, layers are absolutely key out here! We still need our Arans thankfully ☘️🇮🇪🥰

Have you ever experienced the magic (and the wind 🌬️) in the West?

Is it similar to Teresa Mannions experience 🥰 that's the way I'm feeling today

Rugged Rambles of Inis Meain. Has anyone been?

The endless labyrinth of ancient dry-stone walls and vibrant, nature-filled limestone terrains. The Irish Culture & Irish language thrives.

A double yolk on a Friday? It’s a long time since I've seen one.

Which is fitting, because one of the mini men I gave birth to has just requested a half Irish breakfast to survive their "exhausting" last day of school. 🇮🇪😂

Do Irish mammies ruin their boys? 🤪🤔

Five-star B&B here, and they haven't left a tip yet. 🤣

Roll on the summer holidays so I can officially go off duty .... 🤔🤔🤔🤔 ☀️🥓🎉

A week of sunshine and it's a national heat wave ... Hottest May in years! How much work can truly be done in this heat 😂

Our local Centra queue currently looks like a pilgrimage, with half the town waiting for a 99 here in Newport, a bottle of sun factor 50, and a Lotto ticket 😂 Sales are surely up 😂🇮🇪🇮🇪
