Don't think anyone's lived here in a while... Sleeping Beauty, maybe? 🤣 #abandoned #cottage #garden #overgrown #hedge #Ireland
Out for a walk along the old road with the #mutt, such a profusion of beautiful wildflowers in the verges, and how I've missed the birdsong! #dogs #dogsofinstagram #summer #Ireland #naturephotography #wildflowers #birdsong #walk #ramble #cavan #happy
Sea and sky at Portmarnock this morning. Love where I live (Cavan) but do miss the sea sometimes. #Ireland #irish #sea #seaside #beach #funinthesun #whitesand #portmarnock #summer #summersun
I made this at #navanfort #emainmacha on Friday. It's made out of #hazel and it's how #bronzeage people used to fasten their clothes. Just twist a length into a circle, pull the fabric through and push the stick through the loop of fabric... ingenious! It had a second use, too... hazel contains the chemical from which aspirin is made. People who had hangovers from all that feasting and drinking mead (or wine or ale) would chew a piece of hazel to help relieve their headache! 😄 #ireland #sacred #ancientsite #bronzeage #herbalremedies #ancientwisdom #ancientfashion #aspirin #hangover
I like this evocative poem I found yesterday at #navanfort #emainmacha #poemsofinstagram #poem #poetry #ireland #irishhistoryandheritage #irishmythology #ancientsite #warriors #druid #spiritual #spirituality #remember #honouring #honouringthedead #thepast #thepaststilllives #ulster #redbranch
On a field trip to #navanfort #emainmacha today with my class 😊. #universitylife #Ireland #sacred #ancientsite #happy
