out and about in the greenbox
Hi everybody
Ollie here. A quick update on news and events in the region. Our next newsletter is due out very soon - it is going to the printers next week in fact. Plenty of news on our events, upcoming and just done, our web marketing, national and international recognition and more........so I'll keep this v brief this week folks
We'd a lovely evening out in the Gyreum for the solstice, with 40 ppl from the region and the rest of the island in attendance, to hear and be guided by Mary Quinlan, archeologist and anthropologist....as I type this from the office, the rest of last night's attendees are somewhere between heapstown cairn and knocknarea....
Ard Nahoo has been recognised as one of the ten best healthy retreats in the world by the Guardian newspaper. Developments are still ongoing in Ard Nahoo, which will include an outdoor bathing area, encompassing a hot-tub, detox box, rain shower and steamroom, and a redeveloped garden area. The place opens up again in September, and has a whole range of fantastic options available.
If you click on the packages page of the ever-improving and expanding Greenbox website, you will see both Ard Nahoo's packages, and more on health and wellness in the Greenbox area.
Speaking of the website, our hits are going through the room: in May,we had 182, 577 and the number just keeps growing and growing.....
Ever heard of Slow food? Interested in finding out more about this worldwide movement? Interested in quality, speciality, rare regional foods? Then pop down to the Dock in Carrick on Shannon on Saturday 30th June at 4.30. There, a range of foods Slow Food are interested in showcasing and promoting will be highlighted. These include: Blood puddings
Special guest of the day is Darina Allen, author, chef and Ireland's number one foodie. The event is free, great for learning more about Ireland's special foods, and is followed by a meal in the Oarsman. V V limited number of places available in the Oarsman- ring them NOW to book a place at the table, as there are only 8 left as of today at 4.20 and both local papers will be featuring the event over the next few days.....
Beautiful little festival on in Blacklion next week (click the word blacklion or use the following web address for more http://www.cathalbui.com/ ) Art Workshops (incl kids), Traditional and Classical Music, Storytelling, Film, and Poetry readings, Archaeological Field Trips, Nature Walks, and more more more
