Diving at Blackrock

Thu, Nov 07, 2019

Up until the mid-19th century, there was a cluster of thatched cottages at Blackrock. on the Night of the Big Wind [January 6, 1839] these were literally blown away by the ferocity of the storm and the tide and most of the occupants had to move inland. They were mostly fishermen and there had always been a tradition of fishing in the area. Blackrock was also a favourite place for men bathing, and in 1885, Mr Moon and some of his friends decided to place a springboard there. Unfortunately they did not have ‘planning permission’ from the owner of the land, Colonel O’Hara, and he had the board removed and made it difficult for the bathers to get to the rock at all. It ended up in court and the urban council stepped in and signed a lease giving a public right of way to the bathing area.

‘I am bloody, raw, nerves hanging out all over the place.’

If Sylvia Plath was hoping for some kind of rapprochement between herself and her husband Ted Hughes during their brief stay with the late Richard Murphy at Cleggan, Co Galway, in September 1962, she was to be quickly disillusioned. In fact she would be abandoned, and plunged into despair. Yet following a visit to Coole Park, and Thoor Ballylee, Sylvia was to take away a spiritual connection with the poet WB Yeats, and a feeling of peace in the tragic build up to her suicide some five months later.

Premier Wardrobes — a name you can trust

Thu, Nov 07, 2019

It is well known that wardrobes play a crucial role in keeping our valuables, particularly our clothes and shoes, organised. But they also enhance the overall look of the entire room, so it is important that when installing a wardrobe it should complement the room's décor. So when it comes to having a wardrobe custom made we want a name we can trust to provide us with the best of quality and style.

Premier Wardrobes has been designing wardrobes for the people of Galway and further afield for more than 20 years. The business was established by Stephen Rowe in 1998 when he returned from the USA. He set about setting up a new business model, where a standard price would be charged for bespoke wardrobe design and fitting services, thereby giving clarity to the whole process of choosing, ordering, and fitting a custom made wardrobe. Since then the business has had a superb track record in delivering an excellent range of sliding door wardrobes, mirrored wardrobes, bedroom storage and under stair storage.

What’s the buzz with bees?

Thu, Nov 07, 2019

The bee is among some of the hardest working creatures on Earth. The pollination service bees provide is vital for food production and biodiversity. In fact, if we no longer had bees, aside from the huge upset to our ecosystem, we would quickly lose apples, tomatoes, coffee, and cocoa. Our crop production would be forced to switch to staple crops, rather than the more nutritious options. Currently almost two-thirds of the crops that feed the world rely on pollination by insects or other animals, and the bee provides us with an abundance of fruits, nuts, and seeds of variety and quality.

Lose up to two stone in ten weeks

Thu, Nov 07, 2019

There are three keys to a successful weight loss plan – diet, exercise, and metabolism correction. All three keys interconnect – one will not work without the other. Your metabolism is the most powerful of all the three keys – it is the ‘switch’ that controls everything else. In most people this switch is off.

Metabolism problems such as slow thyroid, type 2 diabetes, sluggish liver, hormone imbalances, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, and digestive problems such as constipation, IBS, and diverticulitis will limit or stop your weight loss, no matter how much dieting or exercise you do. Work on fixing your metabolism problems for amazing results. Combine this with a reasonable diet and a reasonable amount of exercise and you will get the best, the fastest, and the easiest weight loss ever.
