Our daughter is just back from a week's portfolio preparation course at the Cow House Studios which is a pretty 40 minute drive from here. What a wonderful place! She got through lots of work and really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended for art courses.
Also the Norman Gallery, a little bit further on is worth a visit if you are exploring this lovely, hilly part of Wexford. It is very rural and remote and tranquil, but not far off the beaten track really. I enjoyed the drive back and forth.

Plucky

This is one of our latest additions - a Silkie Bantam by the name of Plucky. She is living in the greenhouse until she gets a bit bigger and growns her trouser feathers, but sometimes she comes for a little visit into the kitchen. A real pet.
We also have 6 brown hens and two black ones, but they don't have names. Mocha is frantic with rage and jealousy, so the green house has had to be cat-proofed.

We've had some delightful entries in the photo competition, some of which I have put on the facebook page Fruit-Hill-Irish-Holiday-Cottages. These taken by Howard and David from California arrived in today and were taken last autumn. Winner will be announced around St Patrick's Day next year, so this year's visitors have a chance to win big discounts on their next holiday with us !
