Yesterday Wed 1/8 we went to the beach at Ballinskelligs, a beautiful sandy beach with miles of sand.
The sun was shining and the sky was beautifully blue. Walked with DD2, OH and doggy for about 1/2 hour then retired to the local hostelry for lunch. We had to wait a while due to the large nos of families in for lunch but boy was it worth it. Salt and pepper squid (calamari) for me and such a large plateful I could hardly finish it (but I managed it :) ) OH had burger, chips & salad, DD2 had fish & chips with salad. Such large portions and great value. Washed down with a sauvignon blanc and pint for ourselves, diet coke for DD2. Bliss !!
A relaxing evening in front of the turf fire due to coldness of evening, watching Olympics and movie, Monster in Law which was very amusing.
Today started out well with a long walk on the local beach, with doggy, then home for tea and toast with honey. After a late lunch went for a drive to Valentia Island which is about 10 mins drive across the bridge and visited a local book store for a browse. Into Cahirciveen for some essentials and then collected 2 freshly killed duck reared locally. Mmm........ duck a l'orange for dinner tomorrow evening methinks.
This evening we will head out for dinner. Afternoon completed by call from DS1 from Antibes, France where he has been working since last summer. Off to get ready for evening ahead.
Namaste
Marie.
