It was quite dramatic ascending into the rolling cloud that squatted on the top third of the mountain all morning

Approaching the icy summit of Mweelrea on Sunday. Not much in the way of views up there, but it was atmospheric

An early 1970s photo from Ireland for #ThrowbackThursday today. This is my mum's mum in the family home in Mayo. Fans of old film cameras might be excited (it could happen) by what I think must be a Kodak 126 film cartridge on the table based on its size. I could be wrong.

A corner of the garden painted yesterday in gouache. Could have done with making the shadow colour much darker but restricted with a limited palette. Gouache on watercolur paper, 26 x 18 cm.

Important local and national history in this collection of interviews and essays. I thought it might feel repetitious, with the Rossport 5 and their partners all telling essentially the same story, but each brings their own personality, emphases, and interpretation to the saga

Climbed Nephin yesterday, Ireland's tallest standalone mountain. Terrain is mixed: forest path, famine road, bog and heather, rough scree, etc.
The main route up is from the north, so we were in shadow the whole way and ascended into a cloud. Very cold and wild at the peak, so we didn't linger there.
Had a lovely big bowl of soup in the Old Post Office in Crossmolina after. A good day out.

For #ThrowbackThursday here's a shot from January 1973 showing, according to the back of it, my uncles Stephen and Patrick either side of Tommy McHale. Clearly, a bit of a singalong taking place in one of the family's homes back in Ireland at this time.

It's #Halloween and #ThrowbackThursday and our anniversary so the scariest thing to post would be wedding photos.
That's not going to happen.
Here's a very late 1970s photo of a visit to grandparents in Ireland. On my grandad's lap are me on the left and my brother.
Scary risk of cancer from grandad!
Spooky fear of dropped ash setting the pyjamas alight!

We went up Croagh Patrick for the first time since the new path was created. It's an amazing job – especially on the cone, where scree had made the going much tougher and more treacherous than it is now.
Here's a good website about the project: https://www.croaghpatrick.net/

Back to Ireland in the early 1970s for #ThrowbackThursday today and that would be me there, the one who's not my grandad nor the sheep being given milk at the back door to the farmhouse my mum grew up in.

Also, hier ist es schon arg schön.
Und ich hätte nie gedacht, WIEVIEL NETTER Menschen eines Landes so insgesamt sein können und wieviel mehr HUMOR hier so generell gehabt wird. Das ist wirklich auffallend. -
This gorgeous book is a bittersweet arrival. Michael Viney died on 30 May 2023, before seeing its final form, but it will delight readers and deepen Viney's great legacy in Ireland.
Copy-editing the book was a highlight of my work year
