Nearly Done with July

Colleen Bowler's beautiful pottery

The summer is flying!  Dingle is finally picking up a bit and Ray D'Arcy is broadcasting live from Dingle starting today!  It's causing quite a stir as we get ready for his live broadcast and Dingle is trying to put her best foot forward after being named the best coastal town in Ireland.  Have to hold the mantle up now!
