We are delighted Sloe Bertha picked up a bronze medal at the Blas na hEireann Irish Food Awards 2022 in Dingle. Congratulations to all the other finalists and winners. We would like to thank the judging panel and all the team at Blas for their wonderful support. It was a joy to be back in Dingle after a two year hiatus. We enjoyed some world class food, drink and hospitality in Dingle and we even managed to fit in a hike up the mountain to clear the head.

Justin & Jenny are just back from Killruddery House and Gardens, one of Ireland’s finest historic houses which was the location for the Historic Houses of Ireland AGM 2022. The AGM was held in the Library in the house followed by drinks in the Orangery and a superb lunch was served in the Grainstore Restaurant. Thank you to Fionnuala and Anthony for hosting us all at their home.

A special thanks also should go to Robert O’Byrne AKA The Irish Aesthete who announced the continuation of the Historic Houses of Ireland/O’Flynn Group Heritage Prize for a further five years. The prize is an initiative devised by Robert O’Byrne to acknowledge the importance of our privately-owned heritage properties and to recognise the invaluable work by their owners.
