We've entered into a new year and 2017 is upon us, I've turned 30 and I have lots of unpublished pictures that have been clogging up room on a memory card.
For the past four days I have been in Ireland, not necessarily a holiday but a break- some birthday celebrations and a bit of festivities catch up.
I visited Dublin for the first time and it was a treat, something that I will aim to write up properly, but the majority of the time has been spent in County Clare. A small selection of pictures from the west coast are added to this post .
