I'm mostly known as a meteorologist but in my time off I'm the leader of the County Kildare Orchestra! We are performing The Planets and Star Wars on the 7th and 8th of June! For a volunteer orchestra it's been a huge challenge and I'm so proud of us 🎶

Sunset at sea. Nearly dark and hazy above the horizon the sun turned into a red ball in the sky. Sky looks smokey, sea has colour too.

Beautiful morning in Dublin, a bit chilly though! 🥶 Moving towards Meteorological Spring means some gorgeous sunrises at the end of night shifts 🌅

Looking out to sea at Portaneevy viewing point. Waves coming in sets maybe from Greenland. Too much swell for easy sailing, but good for surfing.

Brilliant night on Saturday playing with the County Kildare Orchestra - first time as orchestra leader for the Christmas concert and it was a great success!

Decided it wouldn't be safe to drive home to Galway tonight - a night in watching the @latelateshow.rte.ie Toy Show instead! Much better!

Yesterday was the first of my 2024 Christmas concerts! We put on a free concert for the pupils and parents of Scoil Mochua in Celbridge. Such a joy seeing the kids enjoy it so much and get involved. Orchestra music doesn't have to be boring!!

I really do love Christmas concert season. Practicing for these never seems a chore, I even chose it over finishing the decorating 🫢

A light snowfall for Thursday morning in #Coleraine
Doesn't look bad, but the roads are very icy.
