Chill out time in Castlebar

No Comments
lough lannagh

lough lannaghHi Everyone,

I just thought Id share, my little piece of heaven with You today. For the locals  You are all very familiar with Lough Lannagh. For all my other readers, Lough Lannagh is our little urban retreat here in Castlebar. Lough Lannagh consists of a great little walking trail around the town lake, basically. Its been kept really well and in fairness We are really lucky to have it. Its about 2k to loop around I usually do 2-3 laps as my workout. The thing is the place is absolutely beautiful. You are walking along by trees, water and a fabulous view of Crogh Patrick. There is a bridge crossing the lake and You can walk around by the playground if You wish. Even on a wet day there is still something lovely  about the place. The photo above was taken last March just before our wedding. The one below I took this morning.

lough lannagh I mean seriously, isn’t it just beautiful, I’m really lucky because I get to walk here a few times a week. It takes me about five minutes  to walk from my salon to here. I try and go on my lunch hour if I can, well the days I get a lunch (hairdresser problems eh?) This place is my “chill out time” after a few laps of “the lake” as we call it locally I just feel all my stress melts away. Its such a lovely calming place, even when my mind is in turmoil over something I can always see things more clearly after a good brisk walk here.

There’ s the Greenway Café for anyone who wants to stop for a bite of lunch. I always think its a bit cruel to be advertising delicious desserts and us poor souls out in all weather trying to fight the flab. I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting the Greenway café just yet but I have heard fantastic reports on it and I will try it out soon.

lough lannagh So You can see from the photos why us folk of Castlebar love the place so much. I genuinely think it has brought such contentment to the locals. I think it just brilliant and it has really helped me to de-stress and look after my mental health, as well as helping with weight-loss and fitness.

So there You have it, one of the many little gems here in the West . I often think visitors to the town probably miss out on it. Its only minutes away from the main shopping area. Next time Your in Castlebar pop down and see for Yourself. Trust me the place is so calming You will fall in love with it, and stop at the Greenway Café, if they can tempt you in.

As always, thank You for reading and please hit that share button.

Love Maria xx

Steal my style

Hey Everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed Your weekend, Just a quick little Blog post today, on the outfit I wore yesterday to SoSueMe workshop in Glasshouse Hotel Sligo. (Full post coming soon on the event)

So this is the great outfit I picked up in River Island on my trip to Dublin last week. I fell in love with this suede skirt. Suede is everywhere at the moment and ties in with the bohemian seventies theme that is taking the fashion world by storm this autumn. Think warm rustic, browns, deep orange, khaki and mustard tones.

suede skirt

Here I am in the changing room in River Island taking a cheeky Snapchat. If You are not already following me my user name is mrspdilly2b add me. All my best antics go on snapchat first.

This skirt is a great fit, I’m a size 14 and its lovely on, its a heavy material too so its very flattering on. Theres also a thick waist band so it pulls everything in. Great for us Mammies. I went for a simple black cami top with it. The skirt is a great statement piece so I wanted something simple to wear with it. Black is always good.

You can buy it here

I love River Island and its so handy to buy online, most of the sizes are pretty true to life.  The size 14 usually fits me perfectly. The autumn winter collection is to die for, absolutely amazing. Go on now and shop until you drop.

Here I am with Suzanne Jackson, she is an absolute lady and a lovely person. I was  so lucky to meet her in person.

So thats  all for today folks, let me know if you decide to buy the outfit.

Love Maria xx

Hi Everyone,

As some of You already know I attended SoSueMe workshop in The Glasshouse Sligo on Sunday. If You are not already  familiar with SoSueMe, it is a blog\brand created by Dublin Gal Suzanne Jackson. SoSueMe is hugely popular amongst us ladies and I would regularly follow Suzanne on social media to keep up with the latest goings on.

Deep in blogger chat

 

If You have been following me for a while You will know that I started off running a busy Facebook page for my salon. This moved into an inspiring Instagram account, to track my bridal prep and weight-loss progress. Which in turn led me to writing a hairdressing blog on my salon website. This eventually brought me to a fully fledged Blogger and so MrsDillonsDiary kind of evolved really.
