Back from Sligo

Just arrived from a lovely week in Sligo. Sligo enchanted me. A place steeped in mythology and history. It has a great tradition in music,art,poetry as expressed by its people.From lakes, rivers, the sea,and dramatic landscapes inspire story telling,playing of music and painting of pictures to open the mind and invigorate the body. Sligo boasts magnificent link courses along the Atlantic seaboard, and parklands and fairways with unspoilt views of the beautifull county. From water sports,seaweed baths, horseriding and leisurely fishing the county has plenty to offer.Catch the waves at Strandhill, Easkey, or Enniscrone perfect for the surfer, or swimmer. Set up the easel and start painting you wont be dissappointed. Looking forward to my next trip to beautifull Sligo.You can message me on Facebook,Aine Art,Killashee.
