waking up in the irish hills looking out on the frozen lake
after a night spent bringing in the new year with special people.

it’s a really interesting mix of lakes, hills, and old kitschy resort stops. in the spring i’m heading over to visit a park there that is filled with bridges created with cement in an artistic style, along with a ‘forest’ of cement trees, designed to cover up a speakeasy operation – can’t wait to see it –
