@@colinwellman9480 thanks so much Colin! The rain has been relentless here too recently 🤦‍♀️ I’ve injured my knee so I can’t get up to much anyway but it’ll be nice to get out and about again when the weather and my knee behaves!! 🤞 You have me thinking of a sausage bap now which would be nice!! 😂

@@divild1 thanks very much Dom 🤗

@@niceverett166 Thanks very much Nic 🤗 The weather was certainly my on my side for this trip. I thoroughly enjoyed it!! The sausage bun is a hit every time when I have one with me - soooo nice!! 😂 Thanks for watching the video and your message.

Dziękuję bardzo 🙂

Awww....thank you very much! 😍

@@colinmexcellentcommentary7609 well spotted! It’s not often I bring a book along when I bring the camera but I’d hoped for some more tent time…far too much for me to see on the island! I’m feeling pretty good - plenty of aches and pains but can’t grumble too much!! 😉 Cheers for your message Colin 🙏

Ah super, you know what the general area is like so! 🤗 The island was a lovely peaceful spot and there’s so much more to see than what I was able to get to. Very glad to hear you enjoyed the music!! 🤩 hee hee…

Terima kasih banyak 😊

@@nuabruno thank you!! 🤩 Wishing you well all the way over in Spain - enjoy the rest of the Summer over there! I’m feeling pretty good, thanks again 😊

Hi Tomas - nice to hear from you again 😊 So great to be reminded that you were born on Inis Mór…wow! What a place to have hailed from! This was such a special trip for me to do, I’ve stored some great memories from my time there now. So much to see and it’s impossible not to be moved by the power of the place. A very sacred place! Delighted you have those memories of the wormhole, lovely to have heard about them 🙏 I’m doing very well (apart from a banjaxed knee and a crick in my neck) 🫣 Thanks again!

@@MiriamKennedy Love your videos Miriam you have a lovely aura around you that gives out ease, strength and grace and I give you much respect and sent support for your good health. I visited my island and the other 2 some 8 years ago, was wondrous to see the other 2 at last. I always try to visit other islands when last abroad, guess it must be my being born on an island thing!!. Sorry the unpredictable weather halted your time there, I got soaked on InishMean but loved it even more as I lay in a field up against a stone wall getting damn wet lol. Not religous Miriam but call myself spiritual and always feel that sensation on those islands, more so when the majority of tourists have gone home and you can feel in touch with the serenity and deemed isolation of the surroundings. Real glad to hear your doing very well now, stay good lady. If your ever in Nottingham to come say hi and I'll show you around Sherwood Forest et al Take great care now. Tomas formerly of Killeany, Inishmore.

@@thomasoflaherty3520 I feel it too Tomás - the islands keep calling me back before long. Loved that image of you crouched down at a stone wall in the rain - magic 😂 Thanks so much and wishing you well in Nottingham!

@@MiriamKennedy Re the pouring rain? I couldn't escape with no trees to hide under! So accepted my fate and by the end of the soaking it actually felt good as the sun came out. Good old Aran islands. All the best now.

@@thomasoflaherty3520 a common experience for us when visiting for sure! 😀

@@snowcelt cheers Kevin! A lovely spot to visit and explore, I loved it! Hope all is good with you this Summer 🤗

@@carmeltravers6371 thanks very much Carmel 🤗 Delighted you enjoyed it 😉

@@DavidHickey cheers David! Great to hear you’ve camped there before 🤗 A very special place as you said! I got lucky with my camp spots for sure 😉 It’s great to be feeling good again!! Thanks so much 😎

It’s never too far away from me (the tent not the sun) 😂 The adventures you are going to have Robin!! You’ll need to retire to fit them all in 😉 Happy dreaming and plotting!!

@@jengreatrex7384 thank you Jen! That’s a lovely compliment to receive 🤗 Wishing you well x

@@johncarnahan4067 Hi John! Thanks so much for your message and for taking the time to watch the video 🤩 I’m feeling very well which is so good to be able to say!! Fingers crossed I’ll get back out with the camera again and have some more fun soon! Take good care 😊

Thank you Susanna!! 🤗 I was surprised how much this island offered - such a relaxed and lovely spot, it certainly delivered! That beach was fab - I should have hopped in the water that morning but I thought I’d save it until later in the day and then the opportunity escaped! 🤦‍♀️ The red sitmat is always close to hand (and bum!) - I’ve lost a few over the years!! I’m feeling a lot better these days and I’m back jogging and building up some better fitness at last 🥳 The hair is definitely growing and I’ve developed the infamous chemo curls…it’s great to have hair again! You take care whatever you’re up to these days and I look forward to chapter 2 of your Sweden trip 🤩 Thanks!! xx

😂😂 yep the solitude makes me very brainy!! Watch out world for any longer trips that I might do 🤩 So peaceful as you said - I never realised it could be so nice. Thanks for watching this one and I hope things are going well for you at the moment 😎

@@MiriamKennedy Hi Miriam. I'm currently trying Shilajit for my CFS and I've actually started to try some home exercise to see if I can push through the fatigue. Will need longer to see if it might be working but just being able now to attempt some exercise is better than normal. If I get just even normal energy back it would feel like I have the potential to have a life again. I was talking to guy who walks in the local countryside where I go but he walks to fast for me and I said I liked to take in and enjoy the beautiful countryside and he replied " I couldn't give a shit about it". Horses for courses I guess. He was just walking to walk. Not us. Weather seems to affect me a lot and walking in the sun really feels nice. I still cycle too but generally ache a lot with that if any distance. It seems life is largely about being ill lol.

Awwww - I hope it gives you a great boost and changes some things for you, it sounds very tough. That guys comment was hilarious!! Horses for courses for sure 😂 I hope we get some continued warm weather this Summer and that you get the benefits of that!! 🤞

Hi Jens! Cheers for watching this and your message 🙏 So nice to get away with the fine weather and explore this lovely island…I loved it! I adore that island feeling of somehow being a bit further away from normal life! I hope you’re enjoying the Summer - catch you soon 😎

@@MiriamKennedy yes these places can take us more away from reality but is that perhaps not the reason why we go there ?! 😉😊🧡🧡🧡🧡

@@inkedgermanexplorer a more appealing reality for sure 😊

@@chelladugg Hi Richella! Thank you for your lovely message 🤩 Yes Bere island was surprisingly big to me too - it certainly had plenty for me to see, unfortunately some of those things were at the top of hills 😇 Such a lovely place though. So nice to take the camera along and that anyone would take a look at the video - makes it very worthwhile 🤗 I hope you’re enjoying the long days, I certainly am! Thanks again Richella xx

Thanks Robin!! You seem to find similar places of solitude when you take your boat (whatever the correct term is!) and overlander to off the beaten track places! Always a pleasure to find these places. I thought Bere would have been a place you had visited. On my way into the Lighthouse Cinema here for some other escapism 🤗

‘Boat’ is perfectly correct, ‘escape’ would also be descriptively accurate😂 enjoy your escapism.

@@tullycottage367 😂😂😂 I’m a sucker for some blackberry jam!! It’s a lovely spot Colin - lots of history and wonderful sights to entertain, you’d love it!! Hope all is well 🤗

@@carrigman thanks John! I think you’d enjoy it - lovely little spot 🤗

Ha!!! 😂 I hope it does your local island some justice 🤞 Such a great spot to visit - I loved it! 😎

@@BiznessWizard thanks for taking a look Denis!! It was a lovely spot to visit - I thoroughly enjoyed it and found the hills tough on the bike. I’ve been back jogging for the past few weeks and I’ve signed up for a 10k in 2 more weeks time so it’s been great to have that as a focus to build up my stamina again! It’s working at last 😉

Cheers!! It’s such a nice island to visit and explore. I loved it…a stunning little camp spot - I couldn’t have dreamt of better 🤗

@@MiriamKennedy gonna have to get down that direction again soon myself, you're always giving me ideas 😁

@TheWanderingIrishman good stuff!! 😎

@@aedamhaeng thanks very much!! It’s a lovely place and it was great to be there 🤗

@@davidharris4062 thanks very much David! I’m feeling very well too which is fab 😊 Thanks a million for your lovely message!!

@@MiriamKennedy that’s not a problem, take care and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your adventures 👍

@@gerharold264 thanks Ger! Great to hear from another fan of the island 😊 There is so much amazing history as you rightly said - a very special place. I found the vibe of the island to be very welcoming, safe and serene…another bit of heaven just off the coastline ❤️ I loved it!! Thanks for your message 🙏

Es muy agradable saber que ves eso! Muchas gracias 🙏

@@joereddy2431 thanks very much Joe 😊 A great memory to have!

@@rsb62rsb that’s great to hear that you’ve been to this area! 😊 Such a great place to spend some time..you brought back some nice memories to me thinking about this trip! 😎 Thanks for watching this and for your message 🙏

Thanks very much Ciaran & Margaret 🤩 I’m assuming that’s Margaret from work?? x

Thanks very much Joe 🤩

@@kevintipper9267 thank you Kevin! 🤗 I’m feeling a good bit stronger thanks, still a few niggles and bothersome aspects but they’re really not holding me back now…I’ve no excuses 😉

@@bumbleo8993 that’s lovely of you to say!! Thank you 🤗

@@GregAdventure thanks Greg! A lovely island for a visit, not sure if much will have changed since your last visit…an absolute pleasure to ramble around and explore in the fine weather 😊

@MiriamKennedy well it is about 20 years so something has changed. The hostel had just opened but it's now Lawrence Cove Lodge. I have certnally been in Glengarriff many times since. I must take Kathy there some day soon.

I hope you enjoy it if you both go! It was all new to me - a nice little surprise 🤗

@MiriamKennedy we went to Arranmore earlier this year with bikes but mist & rain spoilt any camera work but still had fun. Sunshine helps 😉

@@GregAdventureawwwww 😢 It definitely does!!

@@CarolFox-ut2fg Hi Carol all the way over in Australia! So lovely to read your message from a sofa in Dublin 😊 I’m very sorry to hear you walked the chemo path also but so good to hear you’re walking tall 7 years later! I will happily capture some more haunting beauty of Ireland thinking you might watch it from Australia 😎 Thank you for your encouragement and support and I wish the very best for you too!! ❤️xx

I had a blood cancer and, after 7 wonderful, grateful years, I have checks 4 monthly. That tells me my friendEMY is likely to return. I live opposite the ocean, with wild Bush in front of me, kookaburras nesting, (check out a kookaburras dawn laugh) lavender in my garden with native and blue banded bees on it. I kayak with a Prijon Marlin ..did 19.5 Klms recently and ride my ebike and organic garden. Life is very altered to me preC days... less energy, more selective of the energy I allow into my world... but I am supported by loving people...I feel blessed to have had those years. I wish you many wonderful years ahead and hope that you are supported by loving, caring relationships. I love your cheeky smile as you set off on another adventure. I just wish I could send you photos of the tropical, wild beauty of where I live...the walks in the National Park, the vistas of white flannels flowers, the whales migrating. Off to learn how to play croquet today. Keep smiling and being cheeky and hatching another adventure. Xx

You clearly love your home and describe it so beautifully! 😊 I spent 9 months in Australia in 1999-2000 and I've still very fond memories of my time there and the wonderful sounds, smells and people that I came across. Maybe I'll venture there again some time! Like you, I'm a lot more selective about my energy in recent years. This is my second rodeo with cancer and since 2015 I seemed to lose interest and motivation for foreign travel and have wanted nothing more than occasional nights away on my own to see parts of my own homeland that I have yet to see. It is still enthralling me until now anyway...hopefully I'll keep wanting to hatch adventures and create memories with the camera while I'm able! I will imagine the wild beauty of your surroundings but of course it won't come close to it! You are very lucky by the sounds of things!! 🤗

@@MsChipmonkey awww thank you!! 😍 It would have been a great spot to have a full dip in fairness - the whole place to myself! Thanks very much for your lovely message 🙏

@@WildCampingIreland cheers Mark! 🤩 Great to be able to get back out again now! A fab milestone in coming back to myself 🤗

It certainly was Chris! Let’s hope we have plenty more blue sky days like that 🤞 Great to get out on the Brompton again, it did well!! 🤗

Thanks very much Kieran! Very happy to hear you enjoyed the video 🤗 Thanks so much for letting me know!! 🤩

Thanks very much Denice! You have such wonderful beauty in California I’m sure 😊 Very nice to hear that you enjoy seeing some of what Ireland has to offer…super nice to hear 🙏

Thanks so much Denice!! So nice to hear that ❤️
