The Latest Pirates' Guest

Travelling ted Alfie has just arrived in the Wild West of 
Ireland and is wondering what adventures are in store...

Polranny Studio

Artist and recent guest Brigitte Rio chose the room above the porch as her
studio during her residency in Polranny. A great choice because
it has excellent views of the surrounding countryside. More of
her work and other activities here are included on her blog:

Are the Polranny Pirates Real Pirates?

Of course they are... and they have the flag to prove it!

PS This jaunty Jolly Roger was lovingly made by guests Saskia, Sammie and Daan.
