Ceri in Kerry

Been AWOl for a while chilling in Kerry with my family. Its the first time I brought my 7yr old daughter and she loved it. Her name is Ceri (short for Ceridwen) but its pronounced Kerry so it was quite fun calling out for her in the street. All the kerry locals thought i was just loving the county. It was just the break I needed to recover from hectic wedding season and refresh me.

I'm home a few days but want to go back, Killarney national park is fab, get a bike, throw on some trainers and hike around it or for fun rent a horse and buggy, great craic. Went to fab resturant called Mac's on the Main st, would def recommend to all. The ring of kerry, what can you say but wow, its easy to get blase about irish scenery but the landscapes around the ring are out of this world.

When can I go Back?

Crafty Market

What a fun day! Weather was wild and wet, the crafts wild and weird. So vmany cool stalls and the food, my lord the strawberry shortcake kept us going for hours. It was myt first time doing this market and I had such a good time I'm going to apply again. Such a great mix of stalls. The Irish design shop was there with some fab silver jewellery and farrell & Chase cards. Bonny Babys little hampers were so cool, were awaiting news on a new cousin on will be buying one of those next time.

Here's the pic's of our lil stall, me ans Aoife Mooney did it together and I think it was here illustrations that got most interest. Cute little girls were a great talking point
