 Yeah. Yeah. Yes. That's right. We're streaming live too on our social. Well, welcome to what it's a very windy, windy, really, really windy, uh, fan it here today. We weren't done low earlier on this morning. We now made the scenic, uh, trek up here to, uh, fan it. And it's like it is windy, but thankfully it's dry. We thought there was going to be a bit of a shower in there earlier, but thankfully it held off for us. And we've seen some fantastic scenery because me obviously being from south of the county wouldn't be too used to these kind of roads up here, but it's great to get out and about here today. And it's great to celebrate all things at Donegal as well today, too, because we partnered up with the team at Donegal County Council, and says would hit the road and showcase what is great about our county of Donegal. Oh, brilliant. And, uh, yeah, so you're going to other locations as well, but, uh, you're, you're in fact, and it looks beautiful there in the background and you're, you're right beside the helipad. And then we're actually, we're actually just standing here pretty much on it. If we had a big camera, we've had to show you the big head chair, but yeah, you can see a fan of lighthouse out here behind me and I'm joined now by Yvonne, me and Yvonne. She's, she's dying to get on the radio. So she is Kevin. How are you? I'm not too bad. How are you listening? Thanks very much for, uh, coming on and having a chat with us today. So Alice, all about fan of lighthouse. I have to say, first of all, looking around the scenery is absolutely spectacular. It is indeed. And what can I say about fan of lighthouse is one of the most iconic lighthouses in fact around the world. It's one of the most beautiful. And this lighthouse is here because of a very sad tragedy of the HMS Saldana, where all 250 lives were lost that evening. So the lighthouse itself was opened and, uh, on 1817, built by a guy called George Halpin. So, um, this lighthouse is, um, a fantastic place to come and see. We have a visitor center here. We have, um, um, fantastic home baking, coffee shop, and most of all, the light house. The light house. It's absolutely. It's absolutely brilliant. So it is. So you said about visitors. Would you find her this time of year visitors starting to slacken off or would you be busy all year round? Well, we're fairly busy most of the year round. Um, at this time of the year now, the children have gone back to school. So it's a different sort of clientele. But, uh, however, they, uh, visitors are coming from all over the world. You know, uh, you meet every sort of person, every sort of, uh, walk of life. So it's, uh, from naught to 90, as I always say. And is open all year round? Mostly all year round. And a couple of weeks closing for Christmas last year, we opened all year. So, uh, we're just about to decide now what we're gonna do for this year. Yeah. So we've had a very good season. And, um, we also have, uh, our three cottages here, uh, self catering cottages, which are hugely popular. Okay. And usually they are, um, booked up from year to year. So people would like to come, they can, they can stay in the area. They can actually do the accommodation. Yeah, they can actually stay here. And, um, it's lovely accommodation. It's very original, and it's kept in the original theme of the, um, 1817 around that time, you know? So apart from the lighters, if people are heading up this direction, what else can they find around the fanatarian? The fanatarian here is absolutely stunning. The scenery here is amazing. Um, you'll get the four seasons in the one day, so you'll get some amazing photographs. Um, you'll see the good, the bad and the ugly. We also have a nice place here to visit called the, um, the Pollard Arch. Okay. And that's a wonderful place to visit as well. And that has recently been refurbished to facilitate cars, et cetera. So yes, there's plenty to see, plenty of beautiful beaches. And, um, it's just a really popular, popular place to come to. And I advise people to come and see it because it's so unspoiled. That's the thing about Fanat Lighthouse here. It's very unspoiled and it's just beautiful. Yeah. And how long have you been working here yourself? I've been here now for two years. Okay. Yeah. What have you enjoyed most about it? Um, it's kind of like a joke because I always say it's the best office I've ever worked in. Right. Okay. Okay. So as you can see, this is my office here. So it's a nice office, isn't it? It's a nice office. Yeah, it is indeed. And as I say, we, you know, we get all kinds of weather here. So perfect. And if people would like to find it more information or say, you know what, we'll head away someday, we'll visit Fanat Lighthouse. Can they go on to social media or have you just got a website running? Yes, they can go on to our Fanat Lighthouse website and you can get all your information there, including the accommodation as well. Okay. Well, look, Yvonne, you think we're supposed to be doing a tour at half 12 when you cancel to come over and speak to us. Thank you. Thank you very, very much for joining us. So there you have it, John. Listen, if you're looking for a place to go, Fanat is certainly one of the places that you should have on your list. Yeah, absolutely. And it looks, you know, given the cloud formation itself is spectacular above you, but just at the background of the lighthouse and the coastal scenery. And let's face it, around Fanat, the coastal scenery is as nice as anywhere you'll see anywhere in the world. And as Yvonne just pointed out there, it's a place to visit and also to stay, if you're looking enough to be able to book one of those, one of those lodges. All right, Kevin, safe travels, you're off to another iconic destination now. We're hoping, we're hoping now, I don't know if we're going to make it enough, we're hoping to catch a ferry to head to Fort Dunray, but looking at the clock now, I don't know if they're going in our favor, but we're going to try, try our best. If you're listening, listening on the Swilly ferry, now don't be leaving without Kevin. Yeah, exactly. If you're listening, give us five minutes. Yeah, that's all I'll take. Thanks, Kevin. That's all, that's all. Cheers, John, thank you. Get with the best. Virgin Media, Ireland's best broadband with full fiber and speeds of two gig is now available in Donegal.
