Absolutely delightful! A fairy tree, Tir Na Nog, and a gorgeous piece of quiche 😊 It was a joy to come along with you on your wanderings!

I find myself pondering the fate of the bungee-jumping spider, Ciara. LOVE that!

The land of myths, legends and onion/tarragon tarts is clearly a good place to be.

This is a beautiful, fine piece of writing Ciara, with a real sense of place, using all your senses. You’re a brave woman freewheeling fast down and around that curve on Ballynagard road before the stone bridge over the Carey river (my late father’s favourite fishing spot for trout - never with a licence!).

Love all the photos, especially the first one of you at the top of Fairhead(?) with that gorgeous jumper.

A beautiful listen on this morning's dog walk. Your words danced around my head as we climbed Soldier's Hill. And the selkie. I say sa-wa. The gorse...

Thank you for sharing, Ciara :)

What a joy to hear your beautiful voice upon waking! I only wish I’d made myself a tea to accompany my listen! X
