Summer Watch List

The summer season always makes me think about the topics close to my heart: sustainability and taking care of our precious planet. The time spent outside in the great outdoors makes these things feel so much more real and important.

Whenever I go for a stroll in the beautiful area surrounding Slane I feel more motivated than ever to work towards real change. There's a reason the famous Renaissance painters chose to work en plein air. There's nothing more inspiring than reconnecting with nature and taking in all the sights, scents and sounds around you.

My family and I love to embody this energy by going camping. Ireland has no shortage of brilliant spots to camp in and some quality time with good company and no phones is a tonic for the soul.
