293/365: Tuesday Whitfield, Roscommon

I’ve known Tuesday since we worked together in a record store when we were very young. My memories are hazy at best, we were a wild pair who egged each other on and partied a lot. Then, like so many people our age, she flitted off to Australia in search of better opportunities.

She returned home with a man to marry and a family business to take over.

When I caught up with her in the hot tub of the glampsite, she had just put her 8 year old (Ziggy) to bed in a yurt. Like all the yurts here, it has been hand painted so lovingly and so creatively. Every inch of this campsite has Tuesday’s magic touch. Affirmations inscribed on every wall, fairy houses on secret wishing trees.

We may not go partying every night of the week anymore, but she’s still wonderfully wild in her own incredibly unique ways. We chat late into the night, but not too late, as she’s hosting a free workshop in her kitchen for the locals to learn how to create digital art without AI!

Very on brand for Tuesday.
