As we prepare to head to Kerry on our holidays the time has come to start checking out our favourite spots to book, plan and enjoy. Much to our immense disappointment, one of our favourite eateries will not be open this year. The Lighthouse Cafe on Valentia island cannot open for it's ten week summer season this year. A fabulous little spot run by a family from Dublin, growing their own veg, buying local produce and catering for the many visitors and locals who partake of it's simple and delicious fare cannot open this year because of the costs associated and the bureaucracy that kills many businesses. Having read their post here , it seems a sad state of affairs when a literal cottage industry is swallowed by red tape. I could go on a mad political rant here and now, but I think I will let the pictures from last summer do the talking. Hope the cafe will be back next year.

david norris was very sad to learn it had closed when he visited a couple of days ago....that writing desk you have your eye on is very nice...it suits you.
ReplyDeleteHey marycigatettes, yes that writing desk is a thing of beauty but I don't have a good record on the clear desk policy ;). It is a terrible shame about The Lighthouse... good people adding the the tapestry of the locality in more ways than one.
