August Bank Holiday Sunday 3rd August.

A late enough start with the revellers getting home circa 3.30am :)  After a late breakfast, I headed out for a short walk with the dog around the local lanes and paths up to Paddy's house where he has 7 donkeys (not in his house I might add) and a little week old foal.  Luckily Paddy came along as I was heading back down the hill and the donkeys came up to the fence when they saw him.  The mother and foal were a little shy coming forward as I had the dog with me and mother was cautious around him which is understandable.
Got a good few shots of the mother and foal as well as the other donkeys as a group.

Here she is and only a week old.







Later on myself and OH headed over to Valentia Island and visited the lighthouse at Cromwell's Point, the site of an old Cromwellian Fort from the 1600s.  Its quite a small structure but our Guide AO was very knowledgable, as his own father had been a lighthouse keeper and he had grown up on different ones around the coast.  Afterwards we parked up and had our tea and sambos and soaked up the glorious sunshine in such a beautiful spot.

Myself and OH on Valentia Lighthouse Sunday 3rd August, 2014.

Namaste
Marie.
