Despite the non Spring like weather, life on the Mizen is gathering a pace, those shops and businesses that close for the winter have opened their doors, restaurants are filling up and boats are slowly appearing in the harbours. Galleries have new exhibitions and there are plenty of gigs in the pubs to keep us entertained. If you are in the mood for exploring ~ take care, farms are busy at this time of year and after the wet winter the ground is somewhat soggy.
