Amazing to have been able to attend the @nationalgalleryirl.bsky.social #WilliamBlake exhibition during its closing weekend. A beautifully curated collection and a great opportunity to discover new artists (and develope a much needed Blake-specific #stórfhocal!)

Some monuments really are monumental – and Ballycrovane Ogham Stone is certainly one of those! You can find it near Ballycrovane Bay, not far north of Eyeries on the beautiful Beara Peninsula in West Cork. #Ireland #SpéirGhorm #Archaeology 🏺 #DiscoverIreland
