So, some time since my last post. I did post just before shooting started but somehow have lost the post - user error no doubt about it!
Since then filming has begun and ended.
Started with the cast and crew arriving in Carraroe on 25th May and settling into two houses. Pretty packed in and to be fair there were no complaints from anybody for which I am eternally grateful. Shooting in the most beautiful landscape imaginable helped.
