A nostalgic photograph of Macroom, County Cork, from 2019. The image features a view of the stone bridge in the foreground, leading toward a building with a large, weathered mural of a pint of Murphy's Stout. In the background stands the rugged, partially ruined tower and walls of Macroom Castle, all under a blue sky with soft white clouds.
Throwing it back to 2019 in Macroom. 🏰🍺
Before the bypass, there was always that great view of the castle, the old bridge, and the iconic Murphy's mural. It’s a classic Cork view that sadly no longer has the mural.

A heartwarming close-up of a black senior dog gently sniffing a large, prickly hedgehog curled up in the green Irish grass. The dog's grey-muzzled nose is just inches away from the hedgehog's sharp brown spines, capturing a moment of quiet curiosity in the Lee Valley.
A very tight, detailed close-up of a hedgehog nestled in vibrant green grass. The focus is sharp on its dark, wet nose and one small, rounded ear peeking out from beneath a dense coat of sharp, brown and tan spines. A few blades of grass cross in front of its face, highlighting the hedgehog's camouflaged position in the Irish meadow.
The Lee Valley is definitely waking up! 🌿🦔
Found this little fella during the dog walk today. A little curiousity, but no hedgehogs (or dogs) were hurt. It’s officially Spring when the wildlife start showing up.

A vibrant outdoor photo of a happy black and white Border Collie standing in lush green grass. The dog has its tongue out and eyes squinted in a joyful expression, as if catching its breath after a run. The dog's white chest and spotted front legs contrast sharply with the deep green of the Irish meadow.
This is the face of a dog who doesn't miss my old 9-to-5 one bit. 🐕💨
A Thursday morning in the Lee Valley beats any boardroom meeting. Pure joy, wet paws, and zero emails & a collie in her natural environment. 🇮🇪

A wide landscape photo of rolling green hills in the Lee Valley, Ireland. Lush emerald pastures are separated by dark hedgerows and bare winter trees. Small white sheep graze on a distant slope near a cluster of farm buildings under a soft, grey cloudy sky.
Mid-week wander in the Lee Valley. 🐕💚
Even under an overcast sky, we can see hints of spring. Just me, the sheep, and two very happy dogs. This is the only kind of Wednesday ‘hump day’ I care about now. 🌿🇮🇪

A hauntingly beautiful landscape of the Gearagh near Macroom, County Cork. Skeletal, ancient tree stumps rise out of the still, dark water of the Lee river reservoir.
Everyone heads to Blarney, but there's magic in The Gearagh. 🌿🛶
A submerged glacial woodland right on Macroom’s doorstep. A hidden gem on our doorstep.
Locals: What’s your ‘secret’ Cork spot you almost hate to share? 🤫

A top-down, rustic photo of a freshly baked loaf of Irish brown bread on a wooden cutting board. The crust is dark and textured.
Tuesday in the Lee Valley smells like warm, home-baked brown bread. 🥖✨
No sourdough fuss—just an honest loaf and 10 minutes of prep. The ultimate ‘Slow Living’ luxury.
Whats your favourite easy to make bread? 🧈🥣

Monday frisbee fun in the garden.
The agenda was simple: catch the green disc at all costs. I think we can call this a success. Trading the office commute for this garden sprint is a winner.

A close-up, ground-level photo of a black and white Border Collie-type dog with beautiful speckled legs walking directly toward the camera on a gravel path. The dog has a focused, curious expression and brown eyes. In the soft-focus background, another black dog follows behind in a lush, green Irish garden with stone pavers.
Monday morning mood: Full speed ahead. 🐾💨
While the rest of the world is logging into spreadsheets, we’re out here conducting important field research on the best sniffing spots in the garden.
Q1 goals are looking very furry.

A detailed macro photo of a deep purple Iris reticulata flower in an Irish garden. The velvety petals are covered in delicate, clear water droplets. The flower features a striking central yellow ridge speckled with black, standing out against a soft-focus green background.
February in Ireland: Rain, wind, and then… this. 🌸☔️
The Iris doesn't wait for the perfect weather to bloom. It just does it. A good lesson for the week ahead—don't wait for the sun to start your own spring. Just do it.

A side-by-side comparison. On the left, the weather in Macroom, Cork. On the right, the weather in Vera Playa, Almería.
11°C in Cork v 16°C in Vera Playa. Both feel like home. 🇮🇪🇪🇸
6 months til we migrate south. I’ll miss the Irish greenery, but the DIY terrace in Almería is calling. 🛠️☀️
The beauty of the 6/6 split? Nice weather year round & great variety .
