The windy city............Wednesday 14th Jan 2015

Gosh its windy out there.  Today started out frosty and snowy and ended up torrential rains and high winds  Weather alert is code Red, highest warning.  Batten down the hatches  I know many countries in Europe have experienced high winds, rain and storms, so Ireland is not alone in this weather. Hurricane Rachel has arrived on our shores.

This morning I met with a friend from college and we went to a very nice local hotel for tea and danish pastries but boy did we pay for the experience.  Nevertheless it was nice to sit in the lovely surroundings enjoying the soft furnishings, looking out at the beautifully manicured gardens and being served by very polite and efficient staff.  I guess one has to pay for such service.  Back home at 11.30 to more mundane matters, tidying, putting away stuff, hoovering, my exciting life.
