Show Notes
I’ve known Tuesday since we worked together in a record store when we were very young. My memories are hazy at best, we were a wild pair who egged each other on and partied a lot. Then, like so many people our age, she flitted off to Australia in search of better opportunities.
She returned home with a man to marry and a family business to take over.
When I caught up with her in the hot tub of the glampsite, she had just put her 8 year old (Ziggy) to bed in a yurt. Like all the yurts here, it has been hand painted so lovingly and so creatively. Every inch of this campsite has Tuesday’s magic touch. Affirmations inscribed on every wall, fairy houses on secret wishing trees.
We may not go partying every night of the week anymore, but she’s still wonderfully wild in her own incredibly unique ways. We chat late into the night, but not too late, as she’s hosting a free workshop in her kitchen for the locals to learn how to create digital art without AI!
Very on brand for Tuesday.

From a high flying, well paid job in Australia, to running a campsite in Ballaghderreen while recording albums in a yurt. Life can come at you fast sometimes and take you in directions you never imagined.
Chris is extremely passionate about his work, native trees, and sustainability. Thankfully his new job involves lots of trees in very sustainable ways! Chris took a risk, quit a long standing job and joined a rapidly growing company in Roscommon. They build sustainable, timber, modular homes from their massive factory. They've figured how to quickly supply safe and cosy buildings, such as schools, in record time. Maybe this will finally herald the end of freezing cold prefabs!

If you were to watch a movie based on Tracy’s story, you would say it’s too far-fetched to be realistic. Tracy is an author, who published a work of fiction that was loosely based on her own life called “So Not Me”. She once drove to Madrid on a whim and started teaching English. She’s feisty and opinionated, but she’s had to be that way, to advocate for her own needs.
You can’t help but feel instantly happy when you visit Caroline’s world in rural Monaghan. She and her husband, Peter, moved back to Monaghan from Dublin 6 years ago when they purchased an old school. They renovated it, and are putting their own unique style all over it.
Gary is friendly and chatty but I can tell, also a little bit nervous about talking to me today. He welcomed us to his beautiful big home which he recently bought (a huge accomplishment for a single man in his 30s in a housing crisis!).
