Fundraising Nights - Yoga and Curry and Sauna/Hot Tub Specials for Temple Street
Buddy
After a bit of a break from the blog, we’re coming back with some sad news. Our dear old dog Buddy passed away a few weeks ago. He’d been poorly for a while, and had lived a good long life. We buried him at the bottom of the garden, with his favourite bowl, money for the ferryman and food for the journey.
So rest in peace Buddsy.

Fantastic Baby Fox
Last night, as I was coming up the hill, I saw the cutest darn little animal that had ever been spied. A teeny tiny baby fox was getting flustered in the road, working his way back into the hedges. The size of a kitten, the little guy made it in there in the end. Next time I’ll try to coax him up to Ard Nahoo and raise him as my own.

Plane Free Holiday - The Perfect Escape in Ireland
It’s amazing how the ash has affected so many. Did you have any idea how much people in your life flew until the option wasn’t there any more? When the ash first erupted, we knew people stuck in Rome, Bucharest, Marakesh, Croatia, Toronto and Barcelona. And these were close friends or family members. I don’t think anyone knew the scale of it until now, when it’s still affecting numerous airlines. It’s predicted to go on for up to 20 years!
So the only risk free option seems to be to holiday at home, or a little closer to home than you usually would. There are all kinds of bonuses to a domestic holiday…
- You get to take the car (and with it, the kitchen sink). Baggage allowance? Pah! No such thing.
- You can avoid all the hidden airline charges
- Travel time is drastically cut down (even with short haul flights, you have to get to the airport, wait around, and travel at the other side…take a day off your holiday at least)
- You get to see the places you’ve always wanted to, but never gotten around to visiting
So why not take your break at Ard Nahoo? We have options for families and for couples or groups of friends. When the sun shines, there’s truly nowhere else you’d rather be than on our six acres of greenery. Swim in the?nearby lake, surf in Strandhill, borrow our bikes and tackle the hills, take a kayak out and around, play Robin Hood with an on site archery lesson, or just sit out on the deck, light the chiminea and gaze out upon the hills of Leitrim.
Visit www.ardnahoo.com and see what your options are.

The Spuds Are In!
During a particularly nice Sunday two weeks ago, we planted all of our spuds, up by the garden of the Eco Cabins. These varieties should be ready in abour 10 weeks, which means pretty soon we’ll be lucky enough to enjoy delicious homegrown potatoes right from our own garden. And, of course, these are free for all of our guests to dig in to while they’re staying here. We’ve also just planted our boxes on another plot of land, which have peas, spinach, salad greens, and plenty of other things we’ll be surprised about in a few weeks to come.
After a few years planting and growing, we’re finally getting the hang of what works with our land, where to put the crops, and how long it will take until the food is on our plates. It’s always bleated from the rooftops but really and truly, nothing tastes better than veg you’ve just pulled up from the mud and put on the plate.
