Like to try hillwalking? if so, on Fri, Nov 17 there is an open night 4 all in Cabragh Wetlands, Thurles at 7.30 pm. A welcome reception will be followed by presentations about hillwalking. Afterward, €16K raised by walkers, will be presented to 8 charities. Hope to cu there.
Why all this queueing for the big international brands such as Ikea, McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme? Why not avoid the queues by supporting your locally owned cafe, artisan business or nearby shop and keep money circulating in your area?
Am joining @francurry700 tomorrow at 9.40am on @TippFM tomorrow to discuss when we can harvest again the mental and physical health benefits of recreation in our hill country and wonderful green spaces
Countryside walking is about the safest recreation in the present crisis Now is the perfect time to get into the outdoors and explore over a thousand fully waymarked loops. Then try to leave some spending behind in the local pubs and coffee shops that are suffering in the crisis
A sad time. In a period of 6 months we have lost our greatest ever male broadcaster, our greatest ever female broadcaster and our two greatest comedians. May they rest in peace
Death of #MarianFinucane comes as a huge shock. Got the news as I was preparing my notes for an interview on the show this coming Saturday. The ultimate professional, you were always at your ease when on radio with her.

My mother, the rock and heartbeat of our family, passed away gently at 7.55 this morning. We are grief stricken but full of gratitude for her life and example, and that her suffering is no more. I know she will receive the reward of her long life of love.
Always a nice moment in an author's life. The final copy of my new book has finally been forwarded to my publishers at Currach BooKs. It is titled "Stories from the Irish Mountains and Hill Country" and it is due out in September.
