April Heat Haze in Ireland, Rathlin Island
Written by Darren McLoughlin
I have read a few articles recently, and many over the years, that in part mention how gloomy the weather is in Ireland, how you shouldn't move or holiday here because of the weather. Well, here is a fine April day of 17C to 19C temperatures on Rathlin Island off the Antrim Coast. Pictured here is the East lighthouse, one…

Bunches of Daffodils and Stone Walls in Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Little bunches of daffodils in a stone wall field in the west of Ireland. Each bunch looks about the right size to make a perfect gift of flowers, ready to cut straight from the field. Daffodils are so colourful at this time of year. Just out of sight some sheep grazed in the corner of the stone walls, keeping the…

Snow has finally arrived, the 9th of March 2022 and a decent amount too but it is unlikely to last for long. Ireland has been under a weather warning for wind, rain and snow over the past two days. When this snow melts, expect flooding. For now, the landscape is quiet and the colour of the countryside is temporarily changed…
After my last post mentioning the lack of snow thus far in winter 2021-2022, a vista of fresh snowfall in Ireland, the green of the Irish countryside whitened for a short time. In places, particularly the northwest of the country, enough snow fell to make travel hazardous but further south and east there was only a dusting of snow as…

Leafy Banks and Green Waters of the Grand Canal, Dublin
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Patrick Kavanagh, the cantankerous poet who came to live in Dublin from the tough country life in County Monaghan, spent much time on Dublin's Grand Canal. So much so that he was honoured with a bench and a statue on the waterway that runs from the River Liffey to the River Shannon. In his Canal Bank Walk he starts Leafy-with-love…
