Moycullen, The Lovely Village We Live In

Just yesterday I think someone posted on Facebook in Moycullen News group how they were walking along the promenade and how lovely it was, full of smiles and colour. This walk must have been so inspiring and so fulfilling that this person had to post a note in the group to express their appreciation of the lovely village we live in!!


Isn't it fabulous? I love reading such burst of candor - coming straight from the heart! Because to be honest, I feel the same way, going to work every morning, walking the countryside roads and secret lanes along the summer grass fields and bogs then along the promenade.

I see the same inspiring beauty all around me. Could it be this weather that is so invigorating and energizing? Making us see the world through a happy prism of colourful light reflected off everyone and everything? 
Whatever it is, we are happy it is happening, it is keeping everyone smiling and looking positive for the future. What else could we want?

The Essence of Summer

I wonder, what is the image in your mind that reminds you of summer the most?

For me,  it's the summer grass, dancing gently in the breeze.

I can look at it forever and never get enough. Sometimes it makes me wonder if it has hypnotizing powers because I definitely have problems taking my eyes off all the dancing grasses every time I am out walking, in the car or just looking out of the window.
