There are a lot of well kept secrets in the west. John Huston’s beach is one. It is all about the ingredients when it comes to this undiscovered beauty spot. It is situated on an inlet on the rugged Atlantic shoreline. It has pristine white sand. It is small enough to be intimate yet big enough to be striking. And it has that extra bit of magic of having been used as a west of Ireland hideaway by one of the most famous directors in Hollywood in the last century. Part of the magic of the beach is that not many people know it exists, but those who do will tell you that it is one of the best little beaches in the world.

One of Galway’s best-known fruit and veg suppliers will feature on the Countrywide show on RTE Radio this weekend.

It is tough being a modern man, woman, or young person. Twenty first century life moves at a frenetic pace. It is unrecognisable from the pace of life that existed a generation ago. We communicate and consume in completely different ways. In the pre-mobile phone era, we all knew training was on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm and that the game was on after Mass on Sunday. We all knew instinctively that lifts would be available if required, and knew exactly who was going in what cars. A lot of things were pre-planned because they had to be. This included meal time. A striking feature of modern times is that an increasing amount of meal times are classed as meals-on-the-go. The challenge here is to strike a balance between a busy, active lifestyle and getting the necessary nutrition on board that helps to sustain it.

Supermac's has launched a new light sandwich recently. It is a 100 per cent fresh, never frozen, grilled chicken breast sandwich, and as well as the chicken being 100 per cent fresh it is also 100 per cent Irish. Each sandwich is made to order so the chicken breast does not touch the grill until you order it. It is served in a wholemeal bun with locally supplied red onion, batavia lettuce, chipotle mayonnaise, and seasoning from West Cork. It tastes great and it is good for you as (and this is the really good news) it has fewer than 350 calories and five grams of fat, depending on the sauce you select. It has proven so far to be a very popular addition to the menu. The sandwich has a points score of seven Smart Points on the Weightwatchers SmartPoints Calculator when light mayo is used.
