Howth Harbour Boyne Valley at Howth Harbour
September 25, 2021 from 11am to 4pm

Annagassan paint out at Annagasson Pier
September 11, 2021 from 11am to 3pm
Its time to brave the great outdoors on saturday. Meet in the car park at the harbour. I will be bringing a flask but others can use the Glyde Inn for snacks or toilets (link on comments section). Meet at 11am, still with covid guidelines in mind. There are toilets on many of the petrol stations on the way as there are no public toilets as yet in Annagassan.See More

Hi Norah. speaking of Second Sleep, I heard an interesting interview between Tubridy and Robert Harris the author who has just written a novel called just that. it has an interesting twist, its out on kindle and I just got it this minute. Its dystopian and I'm saying no more.

Hi Norah
you never disturbed me at all it was a pleasure to chat. I had the best time there, I have not enjoyed painting as much in a long long long time, I will definitely do more as soon as there is a paint out, I'll make sure I'm on it.
