Ace Camp | Bea Peltre | East County Clare, Ireland

I've just returned from Ireland after spending time in East County Clare and with the group who signed up, more than a year ago, for the Ace Camp with Bea Peltre.  As I sit at my computer in the dark wide awake very early in the day I am reminiscing about our time as I look through the photos.  

This Ace Camp was all about the food and culture of Ireland as told through the styling of their food; desserts, produce, meats and cheese.  It was also about adventuring through East County Clare, Ireland to visit small towns, charity shops, restaurants, pubs and other spontaneous journeys that unfold as they do.

Before I post some images of our trip I'd like to thank Bea Peltre for her help in making this Ace Camp such a success. 

Thank you Bea and all that joined in and thank Alison Bell, who is a childhood (and adult) friend of mine, who came as our chef.
