Galley Head, county Cork

A much delayed lighthouse trip for the old fart who had celebrated one of his many roundy birthdays during lockdown. This time it was three nights in Galley Head lightkeepers' cottages and the weather was incredible (for once)



On a trip to nearby Union Hall

The Mullet peninsula

 June 2022 and the beautiful, long hot summer took a two week vacation with the two old people who decided to head into the wescht for their holliers. Okay, it wasn't cold (I am made of fluff so stayed warm) but the oldies never got out of their jumpers and thick coats.

The very beautiful and shallow Elly Bay, just one of thousands of beaches we walked on that holiday.


 

The harbour at Inishkea with all the abandoned houses lining the foreshore and, yes, the obligatory beach



On the beach at Cleggan. Achill Island is the backdrop to the first photo, Cleggan Island for the second.




Arranmore Island, county Donegal

Easter 2022. A week long trip to an island off the Donegal Coast with Mark, Louise, Summer, Lachlan and the two old people. 

Seems like everywhere on Arranmore you can see the sea. See?




Of course, the old fart had to drag everybody to a lighthouse




Then of course they thought it highly amusing to put me on an island and leave me there while the tide came in. Thank God Lachlan and Granny rescued me.
