I worked as a walking guide in Kerry back in the 90s, it is truly a enchanting place. It is a gem that reveals its beauty to you slowly, there will be days where the light works its magic over the landscape that you’ll never forget.
Very beautiful. I lived in cumberland island national seashore where there are no store bridges mail, nothing. I had to leave when my husband died. I had 90 days to be gone. It was a life waste for his life from when they made it a national seashore. He lived there before the government came in. It was a beautiful life and dearly missed.
Sandra, that is a very, very beautiful looking island you lived on, and I'm sad on your behalf that you were given just 90 days to leave. How many people were on it when you were there?
Thank you for your reply. Id have to speak with you directly to explain the complicated process it took to remove everyone. Some in2010- some for this grandchild or this person. Mostly, the few who were left only came around US holidays. We lived full time. Other than park rangers and greyfield inn (they weren’t really full time), I’d say after 2010, it was us and another- full time. Now, you can take into account caretakers for the homes left, etc. the only ones left with all their eggs in one basket would have been us and another after 2010.
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 I understand that. I live in Ireland so if you ever come here let's have those 3 drinks in a fine bar and I will look forward to it. I've been travelling a lot so now I'm back I intend to remain here. You might like Achill island in Ireland, it is rather beautiful and has a good population on it.
I've been all over Ireland and lived there for 10 years, it's a special place ❤ my great grandparents are from co wexford, I'm back in England now but I still miss the quiet peaceful Ireland and the people and the craic lol Paul in England
Sorry I missed this comment Paul. Yes, I just returned myself and athough it's difficult here with the climate sometimes I adore the people and the way of life and the scenery, my new little film is out now, visible on my channel, thank you so much for your comment - I love receiving them! Simon

Very deep feelings on Blasket Mor; spent a half day on my own walking the Island, beautiful summer's day. I was suffering from a very bad hangover after a late night in Dingle. The peaceful singing of the meadow pippets and the spirits of these great people brought me deep into myself. When leaving the island I was completely renewed; hangover gone and my woes had lifted and were taken away on the sweet Atlantic breeze
Thank you so much, what a nice thing to say! Yes, it is. I've visited many cities in my adult life and have been confused by life in them a great deal, though I do love Galway and Venice! If you want a good city go to them I'd say.
@@elauadeinsf I'm very fond of Galway. Been twice. I intend to return. I've seen the Blasket Islands from the Irish Shore, it was amazing. Regards from Liverpool.
A Lovely film that conveys a living memory! I felt very touched for the first time that I watched it, not only for the beautiful images but for the living history that I could see. Thank You Simon! Love Pam X X X X
yes, those who lived here worked very hard, and those who come to live here each summer also work hard. The island demands it. There is no place for laziness here, the geography and the mountain and the weather makes sure of that, and this is one of the things I most like about it!

If they ever try to build anything on the island they will have a fight from the people of Kerry! My new trailer for my Blasket Island Film is out now, on my channel.
Brilliant video, thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪

Now those are the truest words in this whole thread I'd say - you know the place well.
This can only described as "a terrible beauty" 👍👍
yes, it is a merciless place but so real for that, and beautiful.
Can’t get over how much this looks and feels like Newfoundland
that's very interesting, and a place i have an interest in.

It truly is a 3 drink story (most likely over a few eveings). Difficult to condense it All.

Joseph, that's the best comment ever! a story all who know the island can relate to - thank you.
City dweller here. Great film. Fascinating. Beautiful. Light years away from my mind set.

Many thanks. Just viewed. Magical. Sanguine gnosis. To the tribe!@@elauadeinsf
Comes from a time when we had nothing but we had everything, now we have everything but have nothing.
A Lovely film that conveys a living memory!

Beautiful Simon xxx
Thank you so much - it means a lot to me to hear this.
Fascinating
Thank you, I'm glad you found it so. It was my first film - I did not really know what I was doing!
Beautiful peacefu l enjoyable scenery but scenery doesn't put breád on the table as I have experenced

Very scenery is for tourists and passer bys memories
hey i know this place!
yes, and hopefully part of the island etched itself upon you.
Yeah Dev

Great s math sin.
The Irish government will probably build a refugee centre for Sunni Muslims there soon😢
