The Friday Five! (New location, good times)

Well here we are, assured by Leon of www.reverbstudios.ie that this is the best place for our blog, and that people may actually read it now. I’m not sure about that, but here goes!

1. Open Day
This is really set to be a fantastic day, with music (Tony Tyrrell of The Afternoons, absolutely no relation to Noeleen Tyrrell of Ard Nahoo….well maybe only a slight relation) film, theatre, art, yoga, treatments and mighty craic. The Eco Bus will be arranging pick ups and drop offs from Dromahair village, so there really is no excuse not to come. Curious about Ard Nahoo? Come and see what we’re all about. Saturday 21st June, 2pm - 6pm. Click here for more information.

2. Ecoescape Ireland
This fantastic book by Catherine Mack has just landed on our doorstep. Well, landed in our out of the road post box anyway. The book looks really great, especially on the pages we’re featuring in. As we were a case study as well as a listing, you can see great photographs of Ard Nahoo through the ages. Or you can come on our open day, and see it then!

3. Poo
We’ve just had three bales of hay delivered, which means that our compost toilet can kick into gear! Don’t worry, it’s not for the Eco Cabins, but for our converted mobile home, where we house our wwoofers. I did a course last year at the organic centre with Mike Harris, all about humanure. It seriously is the most sensible idea I’ve ever heard, perfectly safe, practical and enjoyable (when you tell people that you poo in a bucket).

4. Wwoof
On the subject of wwoofers, check out the wwoof site here to find out about a great way to travel free of charge. We frequently have wwoofers here, and they really are an invaluable asset to Ard Nahoo. And nothing at all to do with dogging.

5. Sardinia
Next week, I’m off to Alghero in Sardinia. Don’t panic, I will blog away before I go so there are no withdrawals. If anyone has any bright ideas, suggestions or reccommendations I’d really appreciate your thoughts. Or if you’re raving with jealousy, I’d appreciate that as well.

Until next time….
