Walking Through Nenagh

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Took a walk in Nenagh, the closest sizeable village, about a 15-20 minute drive from Glenculloo Cottage.  Given the recent run of beautiful weather, all the school children were enjoying their classes outdoors.  This is one of a few Catholic schools in the village.

Farms Around Glenculloo Cottage

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Visited the farm of my good friend, and all-around amazing general contractor Eddie Ryan.  Eddie renovated Glenculloo Cottage.  He recently acquired some lambs for his daugther.  They were so tame and came right up to be petted.

Arrived and Opening Glenculloo Cottage

Monday, June 1st, 2009

I arrived at Shannon Airport on the 30th, ready to see Glenculloo Cottage; as I have been gone for almost a year!  Liam, my good friend, was there to pick me up and take me to the valley, updating me on the many stories and recent gossip from the Golden Mile.  It has been a very rainy spring, but the weather is beautiful today, and will continue throughout most of the week.

After arriving to Glenculloo Cottage, I was surprised to see all of the growth of the many bushes and flowers I had planted the previous season.  I am very pleased with the results!

As I was heading out on a hike, I waved to my neighbor Kathleen as she departed for the Hurling Match between Tipperary and Cork, long-time arch rivals.  Tipperary won, YEAH!


Newest flowers are in full bloom.
