A New Life In Ireland

We've now settled into our new home in Ireland, just outside Glaslough in County Monaghan. It's a truly beautiful place and the people who live there have all been incredibly welcoming. We feel like we belong and can't thank our new friends and neighbours enough for their warmth and kindness.

There has been plenty of snow recently and I took the opportunity one snowy day to capture some images in the Castle Leslie estate which dominates the village. As you can see, it was a little like taking a stroll through C.S. Lewis' Narnia:

This was the view of the Castle itself, seen from across Glaslough lake. The lake was completely frozen over, though I hasten to add that I didn't dare to test just how thick the ice was!

And here, for comparison, is a similar view captured on a typically grey and overcast day last summer:

The new studio in Lisburn, Co. Antrim, will be up and running soon and I hope to be busy enough to post plenty of new images throughout what promises to be an exciting year.
