The Wild Atlantic Way Waffler weekend lifestyle supplement got the scoop on some exciting news this weekend. Read our exclusive piece on how a beautiful coastal village is set to be rebranded after a Mayo supermam “put it on the map” this summer.
Self-appointed interiors, exteriors, fashion, culinary and lifestyle guru Sahara Bucket (pronounced bouquet) has created a buzz in the sleepy village of Enniscrone since she began her twice daily dips in the sea over recent months. As well as her army of ardent online followers she has acquired a few real-life followers among the oul lads who come down to the pier each morning and evening to spot all the lovely ladies in their swimming costumes. One man, who did not wish to be named for fear it would jeopardise his role as Eucharistic minister, told us, “Sure isn’t it great to see those fine looking women out enjoying the fresh Atlantic. With the pubs and the bingo being closed it’s been great to have something to do, a reason to get up in the morning,” he winked.
Local entrepreneur Alan Suicre said Bucket had really put the village on the map. He noted that she had followers from all over the world and it started him thinking about how he could maybe harness interest in Bucket to increase tourism to the area.
Suicre told us that he was out walking his dogs last week when he spied Bucket hosting a continental breakfast in the dunes. That’s when it came to him. Sure didn’t the village have connections to France
. He told us, “Every year prior to lockdown, several of our parishioners from the Legion of Mary went to Lourdes. Some of them have even picked up a bit of the language. What better way to pay homage to our French connections than market the village as the premier destination for a continental breakfast by the sea. From now on it will be called Enniscrone-sur-mer”.
Bucket takes up the story, whispering excitedly, “When Alan approached me that day in the dunes and shared his idea, I was delighted. The opportunity to offer petit dejeuner by the sea is amazing. Sure with my tablescaping and picnic- scaping expertise it’s sure to be a hit. We do have a bit of work yet to get the locals up to speed on their French vocabulary and pronunciation to ensure that there are French “vibes” all around in Enniscrone-sur-mer. But sure I’m quite the expert on that too - didn’t I teach everyone how to say açai properly”.
You heard it here first folks - a new name for the village. We here at the Wild Atlantic Way Waffler weekend lifestyle supplement are away off to brush up on our French for our next visit.
Disclaimer - Sahara Bucket and Alan Suicre are fictitious characters, borne out of my tablescapaddled mind. Although influenced by social media and TV it is in fact a work of fiction and that any resemblance to real or UNreal persons is merely a coincidence.
