Nick and Anne kindly donated an unused rib for Wally to lounge on

Well guys, our celebrity is reveled! (Wally the walrus, not Nick the Wally)
We have donated our old rib to Wally so he can have a safe haul out site, and it will travel with him to his next location as he has moved on since his last site. Hopefully he can get a bit more peace and quiet at his next stop so he can rest for his big journey home.

Thank you to Seal Rescue Ireland and ORCA for being wonderful organisations!

Glorious evening in West Cork, finishing a tone bag of plastic picking from our shore.

Hi everyone!
Just to let you know that Nick & Annie's Cottage (sleeps 4/6) and Hayloft (2/4) down in West Cork is remaining open and very much up for visits.
We have the ideal place to self isolate and keep yourself at whatever distance you want from the population at large. Plus the added advantage of a deserted strand just 400 meters down an extremely quiet lane so no reason not to get fresh air and walks. Pet friendly to boot. Fiber optic broadband available as well!
We are happy to help with shopping, messages etc for anyone who wishes to become a total hermit.
Easter dates available following cancellations from overseas guests, special rates available.
The Cottage also is just freshly decorated this spring.
PM's with your dates and numbers for a price.
Staycation is the name of the game this year for sure.
Best wishes and stay healthy,💪
Nick & Annie
