About
I’m someone who likes to make things and I don’t always have the time and space to do that. Sherkin Island is a tiny island off the south west coast of Cork. It’s one of the Carbery One Hundred Isles in Roaring Water Bay, just a ten minute ferry ride from Baltimore in West Cork, yet a million miles away from my day job. Here, I can sit and knit, crochet or sculpt or just take pictures or write about what makes my heart beat.
You have an interesting blog with lots of lovely pictures. I will follow you and I will come back soon on your blog.
Thanks Ronald. I look forward to visiting your blog.

One of these days I’ll take my own advice…. All talk and no action!!
Ooo, I love wild spaces too, Patsy! Nothing like a bit of roaring sea and unbroken horizon to release creativity. Beautiful pictures and I look forward to discovering more about Sherkin.
Sounds like the perfect place! I look forward to hear more! Lovely blog you have here, cheers from Ohio, Johanna
Thanks Johanna! Looking forward to visiting your blog. Patsy

Thanks Thom and sorry for the long delay in responding. I look forward to visiting your blog!
thanks so much for your donation to the christie patsy, that’s really kind of you
No prob Martin. It’s a good cause. Well done for doing it and hope all goes well in Cork. P
Thank you ,Wildsherkin, for following Beauty along the Road. Looking forward to exploring your blog. From what I’ve seen we have a similar love for Nature…
Thank you too. I have admired you at a distance for too long. 🙂
That’s sweet of you to say…
Wildsherkin, are you busy painting again? Or traveling to an art and crafts show? Wait, maybe you are out shooting in places no one else dares to go and running from a wild bull across a meadow? Or perhaps you’re entertaining a perfect stranger at your home again with coffee and cake? Well, you can tell that I missed you on WP. Hope everything is alright! 🙂 Namaste, andelieya
Dear Andelieya,
Thank you for thinking of me! No adventures for me, I’m afraid – just drowning in a sea of work and feeling very bad about my absence here. I’ve been mulling over some ideas for posts and hope to catch up with everyone soon. Px
Hi Patsy, I nominated you for the WordPress Family Award, you can check it out here, but if you don’t do awards, that is perfectly fine too.
Joan
How lovely of you – thank you!
Hi WS, could I ask you to please drop me a line at aj.vosse@gmail.com? Thanks 😉
Hello Wild Sherkin. We are big fans of your beautiful blog and you are now in our Blogs We Follow list. We are waving at you from across Roarinwater Bay. All the best, Finola and Robert
Hello Finola and Robert, and thank you for your lovely comment. As I am not always on Sherkin, I am now waving back from Cork city. Looking forward to looking at your blog properly when this Christmas madness is over! Happy Christmas to both.
Sherkin Island sounds like a wonderful place. I would love to visit Ireland someday. I have a bit of the Irish in me. In the mean time I will enjoy your blog. So thanks for sharing your neck of the woods “o” wild woman of Sherkin.
This is a very beautiful blog. Just right to let my soul free 🙂

Thank you for liking my blog, even though I have not blogged since last October. I am now following you as I like the idea of living on Sherkin. My brother has often been there and maybe planning his 60th Birthday there or in Baltimore. Looking forward to further posts, Regards,
Catherine C.
Hello 🙂
Do you know …. I have only peeped at a couple of your posts and I am SMITTEN 😀
The feeling is mutual!
Thank you! I’m really glad I found you and look forward to receiving your posts.
In that part of the world, I can only imagine how the landscape must be a photographer’s dream and the pace of life supportive of pursuing any kind of art. Best wishes! – andelieya
Lovely!
Thank you for this and your other lovely comments. It’s great to get feedback!
