Living in the countryside has made lockdown a lot easier to live with. My house is just up the road from the Shannon river, so we're able to go for some nice walks which staying well within the travel limits. These photos date back to mid-April, when the Shan clan went for a stroll down a boreen (a small Irish road, like something out of the distant past), where we checked out the local flora (isn't that bloosom tree gorgeous?!?) and fauna (woof! woof!). Our son Dante was with us too, but didn't pop up in any of these photos -- well, SOMEONE had to be behind the camera... :-)
