Sunny Saturday morning

What a lovely settled spell we are having here in Ireland.  Down in Kerry it is absolutely roasting here with temperatures of 23-29 degrees this week.  Just heard on the news that people in Ireland are cancelling their foreign holidays and holidaying at home in Ireland in caravans, holiday homes and hotels.  What a boost for the tourism industry here. Hurrah !!

Yesterday I continued my adventurous cycling around the local area and going off the beaten track on dirt roads, byways and lanes.  I was out yesterday and decided to investigate a little lane beside a house which lead down to a beautiful little harbour which I had seen briefly when flashing by in a car many times but had never been down to it.  Well I wasnt disappointed, it was absolutely stunning, blue blue water and blue skies with barely a cloud to be seen and the mountains in the distance. Magnificent.
I am so glad that I decided to bring my bike down to Kerry this year, I did bring it last year but didnt really use it much.  This year I decided I would use it and so far this week I've used it every day cycling a minimum of 5 miles to 7 miles a day.  Not a lot compared to Tour de France cyclists but it makes me happy especially with the beautiful weather, scenery and flora and fauna, its good for the soul and the figure if nothing else !!


These are roses which just grow on the side of the banks and the road, arent they beautiful ?

Namaste
Marie.
