It’s been an unforgivable absence, and for that I am truly sorry. I could say how busy we’ve been here at Ard Nahoo, but that would sound trite and irritating. So I will skip briskly on to our first subject, like nothing happened.
1. The sun is out!
2. It was the Adaptations film festival in Dromahair this past weekend, and it was a truly fantastic event. Featuring a number of Roddy Doyle greats, from The Commitments to The Snapper, the films were shown in the North West Cinemamobile, a truck which hotfoots around the local area and opens up into a tardis like cinema. Every Wednesday the cinema stops in Manorhamilton, which is about 15 minutes away from Ard Nahoo, and shows a fantastic movie, typically a vaguely obscure (and brilliant) ‘world’ movie. If you’re staying mid week at Ard Nahoo, it’s a must have experience.
3. Apples
After the strong winds of a few weeks ago, we had a flux of rosy red apples from our Orchard to deal with. The bonus is we now have jar upon jar of beautiful, sweet, apple jam. Hurrah! And there are a still plenty of the reddest Snow White apples left to pick (if I can resist them). We’re going to be putting jars of this beautiful jam in the Eco Cabins for weekd (months…) to come, so if you’re planning a visit, you’re in for a treat!
I think that’s all for now, but I will be back soon with some very exciting news indeed…
