The great escape !

Plotting an away day hopefully Saturday!

Leaving here around 7 am in the early glory of peace..

West Cork sea shores and many places I loved when I lived that way.... dropping in at as many charity shops as i can find.. I have four possibles...

Picnicking probably unless old friends feed me...

No trading.... sitting by beaches, gathering shells... breathing in the sea air....

Not done this for months.. tends always to become work associated but there we are..

Ahh, I hope you have a good time. I want so bad to take my Nigredo to the beach (he has never been) but it's soooo far and I have to make a special trip I have not been able to plan yet. Need a swimsuit etc. anyway.

Hopefully you will take lots of piccies to show people, I'd love to see where ever you go. Always interested in different countries. Are you doggies going with you?

Bah! I wanna go to the beach... makes me want to go even more now.

no dogs! my two are not socialised and hate the car....especially now collie is blind...

oh no swimming either; much too cold is the water here.. just revelling in the scenery ...

this is one place i am heading for...

http://www.mizenhead.net/

ask google for images; i did manage to walk that bridge once and with my fear of heights...

utter glory...

Enjoy your day Rosebud, it looks a beautiful place.
I hope the weather is kind to you

What a beautiful place. I understand that the dogs can get in the way, especially the oldies who need special care. Many beaches here actually ban dogs because people tend to bring IFFY dogs that can threaten children and whatnot, so to take my captain to a beach we have to go very far.

I hope you have a great time and take some photos

Well, the weather forecast for tomorrow is grand...putting my folding chair in the car..... Mizen Head first...hoping the lady i know is on duty in the cafe...cannot walk that far but we shall see...you have to pay to go in anyways..

Gorgeous! Have a super day.

Wonderful amazing day it was! I have some photos so will try to process them later.. see daily thread for some of the day.. weather utter glory and the same today and all this week they say.

I am pleased you enjoyed your day Rosebud and I hope your returned with your spirits renewed

absolutely! I am flying! It had been a terrible few weeks and at last i am coming through... Love driving here. Soaring I am!

The only real money I spent was on petrol. Shows that a day out does not have to cost.

I found I did not want ice cream etc.. So I did not bother.

Stopped at LIDL in Kenmare for essentials like cat food and whiskey ( for the marmalade) and bought a carton of orange and pear juice from the chilled cabinet and drank half of it there and then
