And see what we’ve done there… to mark Boyzone’s finest’s celebration of Ireland’s most famous trek, we say ewe do it best Ronan on the Wild Atlantic Way.
The one-time boy band warbler has been retracing his boyhood holidays up the west and north-west coasts of Ireland.
And the great ambassador that he is he has been sharing it with his British audience for Tourism Ireland.
Ronan and the fragrant Storm whom he took for his wife in our Archerfield estate, near North Berwick, being adopted Brits now.
Donegal homecoming
Now Ronan Keating’s Wild Atlantic goes out in Britain on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer from tomorrow, April 6.
And it will conjure up Easter memories for this Hiberno-Scot from childhood holidays in my Dear Old Mum’s Donegal homestead.
Cork, Kerry, Mayo, Sligo, Donegal and Derry-Londonderry will all feature in the programme.
Ronan, of course, isn’t alone on his trek (the whole route is 1,553 miles from Malin Head in Co. Donegal to the Old Head of Kinsale in Co. Cork).
Getting your hands dirty
He’ll be joined by a cast of unique fellow travellers.
He’ll try his hand at everything from fishing and hurling to seaweed baths and sheep herding.
Whether Ro’s travels take him to Mum’s townland of Brockagh I’ll just have to watch to find out.
But he did get a big kick out of his walk, saying: ‘I was 16 when I left Ireland, and there was so much of the west coast I hadn’t seen.
‘Now, I’m coming home, and I can’t wait for viewers to share all the laughter and tears along the way.’
A family business
Now if he does we’d advise he visit the Isaac Butt Heritage Centre.
The old schoolhouse which boasts pictures of Mum’s family, the McNultys who filled much of the first class roll.
Before heading down a few yards to the Ramblers, the one-time home and hotel business of Edward and Bridie McNulty.
And say we sent you
HAPPY EASTER
