Today I would like to give a big shout-out to Reboot Fitness Tubbercurry.
Who would have thought that I am going to a fitness centre...๐Ÿ˜...I wouldn't have thought of it myself...as I have imagined that these places are just for young and fit people ....
But thanks to Claire Gallagher and Muireann Loftus Gallagher who invited me for a taster-women's fitness class in late January.
Now, I don't want to miss it....as it greatly improved my knees and hips, along with my balance and stamina...Especially during the nature camps I often felt too slow, and unstable to keep up with the energetic 8-12 years old.
All the staff iat Reboot fitness is so helpful and understanding and always have an easier alternative whenever I struggle to follow some circuits.
My favourite classes are women's fitness, spin and circuits and Saturday morning class.
Thanks to Shauna, Claire, Kaitlyn and Tommy for their encouragement, patience and support. We are so lucky here in Tubbercurry to have this fantastic amenity...a place for any age group ...

Please continue to support the 2026 Nature Inspires calendars.
You can collect them here at my place, at Jenny's cafe in Tubbercurry or just let me know where I can leave them for you.
ALL money raised will go to St. Vincent de Paul and UNICEF. It would be wonderful if I could lodge money before the new year.
I am selling them now for 10 EUR or whatever you can give.
It is a happy calendar highlighting play in nature with very little resources....

The power of storytelling... During my school visits I love sharing some of Pat's stories how he taught us to use natural materials growing around us.
Today is another heavenly birthday to this legend Pat Smith, my former neighbour and great 'influencer'.
Christmas is a wonderful time to share stories making sure friends and family members stay amongst us

A huge Thank you to Curry NS, Knockminna NS, Corballa NS, Cloonacool NS, Moylough NS and Rockfield NS, for inviting me back to their schools under the heritage in school program.
As it is the season we looked at all the traditional Greenery being used in Ireland to decorate the cottages, we made decorations out of rushes and willow, weaved together one large wreath for the school to keep and even prepared some bird food to attract them into the school garden. Demonstrating the rush candle might come in handy for electricity cuts after storm Bram.

Another beautiful wholesome school day, this time at Cong NS in Co. Mayo.
Apart from being a popular tourist location with Cong Abbey, Ashford Castle, the Quiet man filming....it also has beautiful nature walks to offer with spectacular trees (despite a lot of destruction from recent storms). There are some of Ireland's oldest Yew trees around the abbey and along the pigeonhole trail you meet some impressive samples of redwood cedar, Douglas firs and mighty oaks with various other species....it reminded me of BC in Canada.
In Cong I had my first workplace in Ireland in the late eighties and during college it was my first outdoor adventure abseiling into the pigeonhole.... So reminiscing was playing a large part of the wholesomeness experience ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿฆ”๐ŸŒณ

The last four remaining pictures of the calendar. Happy memories of the last few years....
2025.left many of us helpless and exhausted witnessing the utter violation of children's rights 'live' on TV.
Even though children have rights.... around 50 ยง of them.... But it seems that these get grossly violated when it comes to war and famine...
My hope is to raise 2500 EUR with this calendar for UNICEF, but also to SVP supporting families and children in our own communities.
Calendars will be available towards the end of the week at Jenny's cafe in Tubbercurry.
As always, thanks for your kind support.

Price is 15 EUR for one copy and 25 EUR for two.
100% (including production cost) will go to two charities, SVP ( St. Vincent de Paul and UNICEF)who are helping families and children at home and internationally.
Thanks to Mark of /Bonniconlan for being so helpful with the detail and design.
