Manager of Castlecomer Discovery Park with Santa
I don’t do resolutions, I’m around long enough to know myself and that they don’t work for me.
However, I do see the New Year as a clean slate; a fresh start, where you look back at the year, good and bad and let it go.
I always get a new notebook in January and love starting to jot down ideas on the lovely clean pages.
I am really looking forward to the next year at the Discovery Park, we have three new activities launching in 2019 - axe throwing (yes, you read correctly!), mountain biking and kayaking.
It is so rewarding working with a great team of people, and delivering experiences that are healthy for mind and body.
I hope we continue to grow the business so that we can meet our objective to create jobs and regenerate the town through rural tourism.
It’s easy to forget about the world when you work surrounded by so much beauty, but I continue to dream/hope that the craziness of the world will start to uncrazy.
I would love to see a complete ban on plastic, it breaks my heart to see what we are doing to our planet, and in particular the animal and sea life.
We need to get the manufacturers to come on board with addressing the whole area of packaging. I also despair of the example America is setting with its stance on climate change, but I hope that young voters will come out and make a stand at the next US election.
I dream that we have another summer like 2018! It was just bliss to be able to plan days at the beach, evenings sipping wine outside, shorts and t-shirts, salads and generally the good mood that grips Ireland once the sun shines.
Here’s to a great 2019! Happy New Year!
