Sounds like my ideal lifestyle

I hope to do all of those things when I grow up and get out of the rat race.

Has anybody else seen it?

In case anyone's looking it up on google maps or anything, it's actually spelled Ballyroan. 15B goes right to the church and it's behind the church!

It's great to find you here, Walls, since Techfocus the Lounge is about to close down.

Wisdom about to be given a test...

This thread did not take off in the Photography Forum here, but it has some good links, notably to Rosalie Gascoigne's work in Australia:

http://members.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=60663018

Might pass a moment or two...

Perhaps there are artists in the Ladies' Lounge who photograph their work and who would enjoy sharing here or with the photographers?

I managed that at the age of 38 and have not looked back.

I've had a piece of news that you might enjoy, WindSock. If you have an interest in books, photographs for cover design are much in demand at the moment:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055662865

Irish thriller writers are increasingly well known on the world stage and Alan Glynn's "Winterland" seems set to be very successful.

There is also a lively Digital Art and Design Forum on the Boards:

Perhaps this could become a thread for sharing photos of artistic subjects?
