Hi from Betty and Jack.
No filter needed for these photogenic donkeys waiting for their pedicure. Lucky them 😂

Planting Oak, Alder, Scott's Pine, Birch, Hazel and Hawthorn in the Labyrinth field #treesontheland
#treefacts A 100 yr old oak tree stores 2 tonnes of carbon above ground (the roots hold another 0.9 tonnes) - The average annual rate for an Oak is 30 kgs of Carbon per tree per year 🌿
🐸 Meet the Purecamping frogs on our 'Frog blog' https://purecamping.ie/a-frog-blog/ Spring has sprung and our frogs have returned to their pond to create the next generation with frog spawn in abundance.
🐸 Kevin's wildlife camera shows us some of the action beautifully in a couple of clips on the blog. Make sure to keep wild areas in your garden and around your pond to give the frogs some protection. Frogs might help to keep the slugs away from your veggies.
🐸🐸I love all the commotion that Tony Whelan of Canola Pictures captures in this little film clip 🐸
Want to find out how to make these winter days a little bit easier?
I'm working on this blog post, or article (which word do you prefer??) https://purecamping.ie/winter-comfort/ but I'm sure that you all have your own methods and rituals to keep you and your family going. I'd love to hear your thoughts, from Netflix to board games, Yoga to cold water swimming, cuddling up under blankets to bracing the elements on a hike. I'll happily add your words of wisdom to this post 🌿🐝🌿

A winter's evening at Purecamping looking West towards Mount Brandon. While feeding and talking to Betty and Jack (donkeys), I noticed these reeds back lit by the evening sun. They are so pretty 🌿🦋🌿
The cockerel saying good night too 🐓

New Year's Sunrise at Querrin. No filter required. Just nature's morning palette. Wish you could hear the Curlews. They stopped calling every time I pressed 'record' 🤣
Swam in a chilly 7°C with a couple of Great Northern Divers fishing at the entrance to the Creek.
Wishing you well from our family to your family, from our hearts to yours 💕💕
Onwards and upwards all 🌿🦋🌿
One of the West Clare Currach club 'canoes' relaunched today after a makeover, courtesy of Ned Griffin. They are such a class boat to look at, and to row.
Brent Geese and Oyster catchers ignored us completely. The low winter sun and the rhythmic swish of the oars in the water soothing us all.

The sun and the moon. Significant in our Yoga practice. The sun energy drives us forward, the moon energy let's us rest. We need both ❣️
There are Barnacle Geese out there... Top left... Happy out.. Grazing.... And then they were gone... #naturewatching The simple pleasures of life.
Just West of Healy's island on the lookout for Barnacle Geese. There were more than 30 Geese visible, grazing amongst 5-6 black backed Gulls. Fairly wild spot to be hanging.
We just disovered a shelter in the woods, built by fairies this summer we think?

'A cider despite ourselves'
🍏 Pure Stuff 🍏 came from the Purecamping orchard in the haggart by way of the few apples that the crows chose to share with us.
It's a brew that takes some effort so it doesn't happen every year. Thanks to Tony for being the catalyst in 2020. We had to have at least one good story this year!
To be enjoyed at your ease and wait for a sunny afternoon if you're able 😎
Dedicated to Sammy PM 👻
