Villages of the Burren. Ballyvaughan is one of the most beautiful villages in the Burren if not the whole of Clare. Explore it this year. https://t.co/61vsDZokCU @poloconghaile @ThomBreathnach @Media_IrelandCA @ClareTourism

December 21st, the earth paused, sat in midwinter, before beginning its gradual tilt towards summer. The day my mum Helen also changed course & took her last journey to reunite with her beloved husband Barry. Ar dheis Dé go raimh a h-anam

Today we proudly celebrate our 172nd birthday as Australia’s oldest family-owned winery. Established in 1849 by founder Samuel Smith. For six generations our family has been making premium wine in the heart of the Barossa. That calls for a glass of Yalumba! 🍷🍷

Last day-National Famine Way.
Let’s do this

#missing1490
#famineway

[John Mc Donnell @JohnBallyV]

Better land, bigger fields, finer houses, higher walls as you travel east. Many would have continued to grow & export food during the famine.
An incredible thought as the #missing1490 leave their home place for lack of food

[John Mc Donnell @JohnBallyV]

Have passport, will travel #famineway #missing1490

@boots_ger well good morning

[John Mc Donnell @JohnBallyV]

@debstribe Couldn’t agree more Deb. All good here, hopefully with you too, J

[John Mc Donnell @JohnBallyV]

30 pairs of bound shoes guide us along the #famineway giving us time for rest and contemplation of the struggles & horror faced by #missing1490 during the famine

[John Mc Donnell @JohnBallyV]

The march of the 165k @famineway begins with the first 23k

[John Mc Donnell @JohnBallyV]

And so we begin…..
165 ks, 6 counties, 6 days
Following in the footsteps of the 1490 tenants evicted from Strokestown Park during the famine in 1847 by the landlord Major Denis Mahon

A story from our part of the world, in this Decade of Centenaries:
The film, referencing the Irish War of Independence, was made by Sara Pocock, won Best Animated Film at LA Femme Festival 2006.
It's narrated by Ballyvaughan local historian Jim Hyland.
