Carrickfinn Beach, county Donegal

 

Donegal airport is located on a narrow strip of land jutting out into the Atlanticle Ocean, with a beach on one side and a beach on the other. As such, it has been voted as the Most Scenic Airport in the Solar System by somebody.

The beach to the west of the runway is called Carrickfinn beach, a long expanse of white sand with some rocky bits at the far end. Obviously, we had to head for the rocky bits.

And then, of course, they got trapped in the rocky bits and couldn't find a way out,,,

Annagry, county Donegal

An unexpected September break to Donegal, when Brenda and Dave invited myself and the two old people up to the village of Annagry in county Donegal, halfway between Daniel O'Donnell country and Clannad country. I was hoping for a lazy few days but on the first morning Brenda dragged me up the local hill with "great views of the airport and surrounding beaches."

When we got back to the house (above), Pheasanty, the official house pet, seemed dumbstruck when I told him all about it.
