June has arrived, and with it comes all the excitement, nerves, sunshine, concerts, festivals, and long evenings that make summer in Ireland feel truly special.
For our family this month, it’s a big one. Our second child is sitting the Leaving Cert, and if I’m being honest, Mom might possibly be more nervous than she is! The house has been full of revision notes, cups of tea, and plenty of encouragement. To all the students and parents going through exam season right now, we’re wishing you the very best of luck. Remember, there’s life beyond exams too, and summer is waiting on the other side.
June also brings a fantastic buzz to Limerick city and beyond, with an incredible line-up of concerts and events happening throughout the month. Thomond Park will welcome huge acts including Lewis Capaldi, Florence + The Machine, and Michael Bublé, bringing thousands of music lovers into the region and creating a wonderful atmosphere across the city and county.
Closer to home, there’s plenty happening around Bruff and the surrounding areas too. From guided walks and wildlife experiences to theatre nights, festivals, markets, and local community events, June is packed with reasons to get out, explore, and support local.
As always, thank you to everyone who continues to support small local businesses like ours. Every booking, recommendation, share, coffee stop, and kind word means the world to small family-run places.
