Are you looking for a unique staycation experience Are you looking for a unique staycation experience in Ireland this summer? Why not consider the ringfort stayover at the @irishnationalheritagepark in #Wexford. We were lucky enough to have had the chance to try it out a couple of years ago and we loved every minute of it.

A short drive from Grange, #Sligo is the glorious A short drive from Grange, #Sligo is the glorious Streedagh Beach. With majestic Benbulben in the distance and 3km of sandy beach, Streedagh is a popular beach with family and surfers alike. After visiting The Devil’s Chimney, we headed there for another walk. Luckily the rain held off and we could explore the rock pools and sandy dunes before finishing off the perfect morning with our picnic lunch. There was practically no-one else around which made social distancing a breeze. However I expect this beach to be busier in July and August as the ‘Normal People’ fans flock in to see where Connell and Marianne sat in the sandy dunes overlooking the Wild Atlantic Way.

We’re lucky enough to call Sligo home and this c We’re lucky enough to call Sligo home and this county still surprises me. I can’t believe in all my years living here, I’d never visited The Devil’s Chimney. At 150cm, Sruth in Aghaidh An Aird - The Devil’s Chimney is Ireland’s tallest waterfall. However it doesn’t flow during dry weather conditions. It’s a 1.5km walk to view the waterfall and it’s quite steep so you need to wear sturdy walking boots when it’s been raining as it could be slippy. We loved the walk up and the views of the waterfall and over Glencar lake were stunning. If you’re visiting Sligo as part of your staycation this summer, you should definitely check ‘The Devil’s Chimney’ out. @SligoWalks @sligotourism #sligostories …. … .. .

Here’s our take on the Irish classic, the chicke Here’s our take on the Irish classic, the chicken fillet roll. We made our own baguettes and breaded some free-range chicken breasts. We should’ve made our own coleslaw but there’s nothing wrong with taking shortcuts ☺️. Lots of people asked for the recipe after I shared it on stories. It’s from Patrick Ryan aka @firehousebread over @ilovecookingireland. If you’d like me to DM you the recipe, let me know in the comment below. . ... .....

Lunch today was in Matilda’s Bakery and Deli in Lunch today was in Matilda’s Bakery and Deli in Carrickmacross #Monaghan. It’s a charming family run cafe which sells only homemade produce including cakes, bread, sandwiches and salads - as well as the lovely sausage rolls and chicken and mushroom pies we had. The owners father, who used to run the butchers that was in the same building, used to play hide and seek and call out “Where’s Matilda?” hence the name!
