One thing you can say about our ancient high kings and chieftans is that they knew how to choose a spot with a view.
Gorgeous evening walk looking to the Sperrins on the left & towards Slemish on the right

Sometimes the stars align so that your work day feels less ‘worky’ and you get to witness your pals showcasing their expertise at the ‘worky’ bit and then you ALSO get to have a lunchtime dander around the glorious walled garden with @alexadotm.bsky.social and Dr Ciara Fitzpatrick
