Wet and Windy Tuesday

Well today started off where yesterday finished off, wet, windy and very heavy overnight rainfall.  No chance to see the full moon or the stars last night.  After a late start and late brunch myself OH and DD2 headed out for a drive around to Ballinskelligs beach and on the way spied a house for sale close to the beach where we always thought we'd love a house.  House wasnt bad, 3 bedrooms and a snip (!) at 150,000 euros but needed a good deal of TLC.  I always thought that I would like a house closer to the village and people but on seeing that one and the many people staying around I (well we) decided that we like where our house is situated thank you very much.

Myself and DD2 walked the dog along the beach and OH rested and read his newspaper.  Afterwards we headed around by Bolus Head and then onto Finians Bay a well known and popular surfing spot.  The waves were amazing and lots of people we enjoying the waves although no swimming is allowed there.
We also called into the Skellig Chocolate factory where they make chocolate on site and allow people to taste the different types of chocolate before buying.  YUM! I chose the hazelnut truffle, OH the orange brittle and DD2 the bar of plain chocolate.

Later on tonight we will go into the village for the music night, but first we will enjoy a chinese take away.
OH has taken DD2 for her 2nd driving lesson and will collect the take away on the way home.  Picture taken last week late one evening in village just after sun went down.  Beautiful.

Namaste
Marie.
