June in the Burren
June is a beautiful time to see the flowers in the Burren.
All the wild flowers which began to appear in May are still in abundance, while newer flowers pop up each week, adding to the beauty of the natural surroundings.
The call of the cuckoo can be heard from time to time among the rest of the bird chorus.
One week ago, Gordon Darcy held a dawn chorus in the Burren and over 150 people turned up to hear the chorus at 6:00 am
Don't worry ;-) classes dont start until a civilised 7:00 am. Followed by an invigourating power yoga class.
Beautiful way to start the day for a whole week in the Burren.
June in Ireland, daylight starts well before you rise, and its often light until 11:00 pm in the evening.

The cost of the course is €630 and includes accommodation and vegetarian meals.
The food is cooked by Paddi the gourmet vegetarian chef who ran Seventh Heaven the well known restuarant in Galway city.
