Wicklow Uplands As the lambing season approaches in the picturesque Wicklow  & Dublin uplands, the Wicklow Uplands Council is making a heartfelt plea to both recreational users of the uplands and local dog owners to prioritise the safety of pregnant sheep and new born lambs.

By fostering a collective sense of responsibility among dog owners, the Wicklow Uplands Council hopes to create an environment where everyone can coexist harmoniously, appreciating the beauty of the uplands while safeguarding the well-being of its inhabitants.

Well thats the end of our Brockagh Car Boot/Market for 2023. On sale was everying from work gear to jewellery. Everyone needs batteries and at this time of year even more so. Unmatchable bargains were to be had from Declan who had a wide range of battery sizes to illuminate your Christmas decor at a very affordable price. It was hard to ignore the beautiful sheep skin rugs with a €50 price tag being one the cheapest, it was a winter woolie steal. Bernie had plenty of childrens activity sets and an amusing range of dancing Christmas cactus and musical drumming Santa's. If it was healing scents that you were looking for Sue had earthy sage bundles(€4) known for clearing the space of bad energy and promoting relaxation. We bought Palo Santo wood stick(€3) to burn promoting physical, Spiritual healing, sleep, and reduceing muscle, joint and arthritis pain. Hilary displayed a table full of home baked treats and Ken was chilling outside his van with foliage and Christmas Wreaths. There is so much nostalia attached to the Brockagh Car Boot & Market because its like welcoming back old friends each month. Some traders have passed and much missed, some characters I have not mentioned as we have had so many over the years but we would like to wish you all a happy holiday. Don't forget to come back in March 2024 to have a catch up again with some shared laughs and important chatter!!!! Merry Christmas from the Brockagh Resource Centre..........
