What was your favourite subject in school? If you

What was your favourite subject in school? If you asked me, I would automatically go to say Biology or geography. They were the only two subjects I looked forward to and would be one of the reasons I went on to do Earth and Ocean Science in college.

But when I look back though, I really miss English. Scouring the words of a poem for meaning, reading books and contemplating the characters and writing descriptive essays. Writing descriptive essays is something I really miss doing now, although I amn’t sure I loved doing it at the time!

Maybe that’s one of the reasons I enjoy having a blog and writing some articles for other websites. Because I really enjoy writing.

Is there any subject you miss from school?

One of my favourite movies of all time is “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”. I won’t tell you about it but it is so feckin good and I highly recommend you watch it. Anyways there's a bit where the kid Ricky recites a haiku he’s written about maggots. It’s really graphic but so funny. I’ve never written a Haiku before, so I gave it a try, although mine definitely doesn’t have quite the impact as Ricky's.

Windmills spinning free.
Stand tall against fields of green.
Waving at the sea.

This is one of my favourite places to go near home. The whirr of the windmills is so calming and if you look out across the bog and fields, you can see the blue ocean stretching off into the hazy sky.

Leave your best shot at a haiku in the comments. A haiku has three lines, the first is 5 syllables, the second is 7 and the third is 5 again.

If you happened to see my stories on the day that

If you happened to see my stories on the day that we climbed diamond hill, it was WINDY. Like crazy windy.

I had been holding my hat when we reached exposed areas of the hike just in case it flew away. I am very attached to this hat btw. Well just after these two pictures were taken i let go for a split second and it dontcha know what happened? It soared away in one big gust. I swear it happened in slow motion but still I had no chance to grab it. Eoghan said “forget about it, it’s gone” but as they say, never leave a ̶M̶a̶n̶
̶ hat behind. I was determined. I rushed down the side of the mountain to save my beloved hat, as it bounced and wheeled down the side of the slope. I am glad to tell you, my efforts were rewarded.

That is the dramatic story of how I nearly lost my hat but didn't.

☘ Never pass up the chance for a drive through #connemara.

This is Inagh Valley.

There are photo opportunities in all directions and great walks around the area.

Although prepare to drive slow as you weave your way around sheep chilling out in the middle of the road 😅

Dreaming of having a view like this outside my front door some day.

I had the mother of all nocturnal panic attacks Su

I had the mother of all nocturnal panic attacks Sunday night.

Panic attacks are always shit but nocturnal ones can be pretty traumatic. Lurching awake and being enveloped in a sense of sheer terror before your mind has even worken up is just hell basically.

These panic attacks are different for everyone. But every nocturnal panic attack for me is the same. It always happens within the first hour of falling asleep. My eyes opened and I felt wide awake, as if I had never slept, but had been lying there with my eyes open the whole time. Within milliseconds though, I felt something was so so sooo wrong. And fear just erupted from every cell in my body.

The next thing I remember, I was standing holding on to the wide open balcony door gasping for air. I don’t even remember jumping off the couch and racing for the door.

When I had finally woken up fully, I realised I was trembling, my chest so tight I struggled to get air to my lungs and my legs wobbled. While I tried to slow my breathing down, my heart was hammering away in that familiar but never any-less-scary way. The beats so hard and so close together, you wait for them to merge into one and stop altogether.

My car is back home being fixed at the minute and all I could think was, that if I was dying, I was all alone. I was stuck there, alone. Because that’s the thing with panic attacks - it doesn’t matter how many you have. Every single time, when the adrenaline surges through your body and the terror kicks in, you really do think you’re dying.

This may seem like a really gloomy story. But it's not. This time I didn’t keep it to myself or push these feelings further and further down until they erupted again. Instead, I called my sister. She talked to me until the fear had faded and exhaustion had kicked in. I hung up the phone and felt almost myself again.

So I actually want to leave this on a positive note. Just because you have a shit night doesn’t mean you’re going backwards - even if it feels that way.

Also, it can be so easy to feel like you are burdening other people with these things. BUT remember, the people that love you WANT to be there for you at times like this.

Going to miss my little bubble. BUT So bloody ex

Going to miss my little bubble.

BUT

So bloody excited to get out visiting all Irelands best spots on my days off again.

I thought I was the only one really enjoying lockdown but more and more posts are cropping up of people sharing the same thoughts. We all love a bit of simplicity don't we! .

I absolutely haaaate climbing up. You know, it’s

I absolutely haaaate climbing up. You know, it’s pretty hard to appreciate the insane views when you’re going up. Even on your 5-minutely breaks, being bent over gasping for air just doesn’t leave much room for appreciation!

That’s why I love going back down. You’re already feeling great from reaching the top, and you’re facing the panoramic views on your way back down. So ya this is me absolutely loving life. After having a nice lunch at the top of a mountain and swanning back down again as if an hour beforehand I wasn’t grasping on to rocks for dear life thinking I was having a heart attack🙃.

🐕Look at this happy Boy! 🐕
On sunday when climbing diamond hill, while stopping for my 13423123th break, i looked down and noticed this golden haired beauty making his way up the side of the mountain.

Within no time at all he was plodding his way onto the summit. He walked passed me and made eye contact for a brief second with his happy head as if to say “we made it". I know that's what I was thinking anyway haha.

A few minutes later his owners came up to the top worried as they hadn’t seen him in a while. He was no where to be seen but a few minutes later I saw him pop his head out looking out over the stunning views of Connemara. This furry four-legged guy was literally sitting there appreciating the view the same as everyone else.

His owners said he loves the camera and they weren’t wrong, he is in so many of my pictures from the day! .

☘ Back to greeeeeeen ☘ Green is the best colo

☘ Back to greeeeeeen ☘
Green is the best colour. You know its an emotionally calming colour? It gives a sense of refreshment, harmony, and equilibrium. Think that’s one of the main reasons I love it so much, I could surely do with a sense of harmony and peace!

When we actually have our own proper place I am gona paint the whole damn house green. With lots of green leafy plants plopped on all available surfaces. Deep green ivy trailing down over the kitchen presses and foliage poking out from behind each piece of furniture.

You know that feeling when you take a deep breath and feel everything slow down? I get that when I think about this 🤗 lolol.

This was taken in Brigit’s Garden which is a gorgeoussss place between Moycullen & Oughterard. It’s a place to unwind and reconnect with nature and the environment. And it reopened yesterday. Will be taking a trip there soon for sure :) .

Are these or are these not the most candyfloss-loo

Are these or are these not the most candyfloss-looking clouds you've ever seen?! Anyone else find it weird how quickly the last new months went? Was out in the depths of #Connemara for the first time in months but it felt like it had been no time at all since I zoomed by the rocky hills, lakes and tie dyed sheep 🐑

I've realised that I also way prefer working from home. My mood has been so much better than it normally would be, and have been so bloody happy to not have to sit in traffic clenching my teeth for over an hour a day. I hate city traffic 😅

It sounds bad to say this but I am actually slightly sad that things are going back to normal now. Minus the awful awful awfulllll things that have been going on, I have actually really enjoyed being away from the rest of the world. That being said knowing I will finally be seeing friends and family soon has me soooo excited.

Has anyone else made any discoveries over the last 3 months?!

The feed is very quickly going from green colour scheme to blue. I don’t know how I feel about this.

But I was feeling speeding along the coast in a boat looking at caves and cool rock formations I can tell you!
