Friday Five - Server back up, Twitter, The Observer, Detox Retreat and Detox Box on Expose (TV3)

It’s been a while, so without any further delay, the Friday Five…

1. Server back up and running
Something strange has been going on with our site all week, meaning we haven’t been able to access it, or our emails. It finally came back today, so grovelling emails are now being sent all around. We usually reply to emails within 24 hours (unless they are sent on a Sunday or Monday, when we are closed. These days we check mail less frequently, so it may take a little longer). If you don’t receive a reply to an email within these times, then sent it again, or give us a call. Up here in the mountains our internet is a little less reliable (and quick!) than in a city.

2. Twitter
We logged on for the first time to Twitter today, after a long appeal from many different sources. I’m still not entirely convinced, but am sure it will become steadily addictive. Especially as I now know that Stephen Fry is a regular twitterer.

3. The Observer
We had an excellent write up in the Observer a few weeks back, that for some reason never made it up onto the blog. You can read the article here…

4. Detox Retreat
The bookings have started to come in for the 5 Day Detox Retreat, which is happening on 1st-4th May this year. To read more about the retreat, click here

5. Expose, Dr Hauschka and Detox Box
On last night’s episode of Expose (TV3) the girls went to the Dr Hauschka Heaven and Earth Spa in Dublin. Here they sampled the infrared detox sauna, and raved about the therapeutic qualities it posesses (Good for acne, arthritis, muscular pain and stress, as well as burning 900 - 2400 calories!) The good news is that we have our very own ‘Detox Box’ at Ard Nahoo. Overlooking the lake and hills and protected by a glass screen and roof, most guests choose to melt away their cares before jumping into the hot tub. Our detox box is open to all, residential or day visitors. For more information, click here
