Time to re acquaint ourselves with our local area. Whilst we don&#8217;t have the lovely warm weather we experienced in March with the first lock down, we do have the amazing sky at night. Can you find the Plow? or Orion? Now is the time to find them. With all the clever apps we can download on our phones and tablets, there has never been a better time to discover the sky at night &#8211; just point your device heavenward &#8211; and discover all the amazing stars in the night sky.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"quoteText\"><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunrise at Fodra on Loop Head on October 1st 2020 &nbsp; Now we enter the &#8216;Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness . .\u00a0 (John Keats) The days are are shorter,<a class=\"read-more\"  style = \"color:##362628;\"href=\"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/?p=5653\">..view &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[94,88,84,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5653"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5653"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5676,"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5653\/revisions\/5676"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.loveloophead.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
