Here’s my summer newsletter. I am shutting up shop for a month from 20th June to 20th July. All going well, we will be safely installed and open for business (online at least) in Donegal by mid-July. I am already longing to get back to my painting routine. I can’t quite believe that after being ground so long by my broken leg and the pandemic that we will actually move house/studio to another country by then. It’s a huge step! Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly!

The rain finally stopped yesterday morning and the temperature rose a few degrees. We just had three days of steady rain. The temperatures also went up a bit. I was amused to discover that this “event” made the news. The headline in “The Donegal Daily” an online newspaper read: “Weather- Another Mild Day in Store […]
Our visit to the island of Inishbofin last month was one of those rare “perfect” days in life. The weather was warm and sunny with enough of a sea breeze to blow away any viruses. We have been looking and admiring from afar the tiny, remote island of Inishbofin, off the coast of Donegal, for […]
Three Donegal paintings – they attempt to capture this summer’s stillness when there was very little breeze and it was uncharacteristically hot
Someone told me that once we got to Ireland, “it will be like being on holiday everyday!” Hmmm, I have had some pretty eventful holidays in the past. Funny how the disasters are more memorable that the sunny easy holidays. Let me see. Here are three that come to mind; we once got flooded in […]
enjoy your time, emma )
Thank you, Beth
“… painting … of walls and woodwork.” Sounds like as much fun as my painting (sealing) of our asphalt driveway for this past week. 😉
Yes, its the sort of stuff usually avoid!!
Best wishes for a move that is as stress free as possible@
Thank you Leueen, it’s been pretty stressful today! I think we are just very tired and the clock is ticking!
The move will be over before you know it Emma. Best wishes for a smooth transition into your new home base.
Thank you, Pam. Its all very hectic at the moment!
Will be awaiting posts from Donegal…hope all goes perfectly well!
Thank you, Alli.
I’m sure it’s a good decision, when Your spirit captures Donegal you have to follow its guidance. We came her 7 years ago and despite today’s gloomy weather we are in seventh heaven Adh mor ☘️
That’s good to hear Maureen, we certainly need Adh Mor!
You actually should change the title to Spring/Summer Newsletter. With your leg and Covid this move is going to take a lot out of you while your still recuperating! So that time schedule may need to be revised?
I’m sure you’ll hit the beach maybe not running but doing a fantastic hop and drag dance!
You are probably right, Wayne!
all this upheaval will be good in the end for you Emma. I bet it’ll help expend your creative horizons!
creativity always demands BST (blood,sweat and tears)
Yes, I certainly need new horizons. Lovely though the Gower is, I need new challenges.
cosmic irony in that statement Emma……..just like all the birds right now you are like a new born coming out of your Gower shell.
