Sunny, but quite breezy and a little bit too chilly for a swim yet!
(Coward, I know!)
I did manage to get a 'redneck' tan though! :¬(
Of course we forgot to bring the camera, these are from the phone.
As usual, the beach was over-crowded with day-trippers!

Aaah, there's my lovely Annette, in the middle!

Can you spot the elderly couple and their dog just sitting peacefully amongst the throngs of sun-worshippers?

This is the 'Pollock Holes' in Kilkee, County Clare.
Looks like a lovely day, Map! Gorgeous and sunny... and nice weather too! ;-)
ReplyDeletePonita (I'm at work...)

ReplyDeletePon; Pulling a 12 hr? Hang in there! :¬)

Sav; It was indeed a grand day. Nice glass of Australian Merlot too on arrival home! ('Yellow Tail', it's like drinking a little piece of heaven!) :¬)
xoxoxox
Chilly or not, the beach is ALWAYS the place to be! The chill works to keeps the commoners away.
ReplyDeleteThere's something inspiring about standing on the shore and looking out on the ocean. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteMap, did a 12 hr yesterday. Rest of the week is just 8 hr shifts... Love the beach photos, hon... xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat looking beach and a lovely lady you found there.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a day at the beach---mine was very wild today and the dog ani had the beach to ourselves.
I fly north to visit friends in Queensland and spend some of each day at an ocean or river beach----think I'm becoming my father.
He used to walk our dogs every day--then flew to Scotland on holidays and walked the relatives dog on the beach---it feels like home everywhere ---glad you enjoyed your day
UB; It's only an hours drive away, we should do it more often. No, we WILL do it more often! Hope to get my swim in soon too! :¬)
ReplyDeleteScott; It is inspiring! And nice. :¬)
Pon; The 8hr days must be a breeze then eh? :¬/

Clyde; Hey pal, do ya think we all become our fathers eventually? Mine is gone 24 years this year, he was a true gent! (I hope I take after the Ma! She's almost 85 and still drinkin' whiskey!) :¬)
Stew
ReplyDeleteI'll hope I'll become my father barring the losing of his mind.
He was a gentle man of simple needs and a love and tollerance of all in this world.
Ma sounds delightful---I hope to meet her
That elderly couple get around. They were in Seaton last week:)
ReplyDeleteWe've got the wind too.
Whenever I'm by the sea, there's part of me that's tempted to strip off and dive in. Fortunately there's another part of me that overrules the madness.
ReplyDeleteIt's an entirely different case for Maggie. I wrote about the cultural difference of visiting the seaside in a post Life's a beach a few years ago.
Beautiful, Map! I'm relaxed just looking at your pictures...

Clyde; He sounds a bit like my Da, except for the tolerance bit, he could not stand Elvis! :¬)
ReplyDeletePat; You got the wind too? It must be the cabbage methinks! :¬)

Kim; I just read, and enjoyed that post!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not although I've been in the sea around our coast many times, I've never had a swim in it! (Only learned to swim 5 years ago!) I have enjoyed many a swim in the Atlantic, but in the part that's off the coast of Africa! (It's a little bit warmer!) :¬)
Pearl; See, the things I do for my friends! :¬)

Ah, I can feel the refreshing sea breeze from here...and I need it. Third day of 100 degree heat [38C for you, but feels like 43 for you] and no rain.
ReplyDeleteSo please thank your lovely bride for sharing her day...and the thought of a cool beach to put a better end to my day.
hope; Refreshing was exactly what it was, and relaxing at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Irish people could handle 38C never mind 43C! Our skin would just dissolve before our hard-boiled eyes! A constant 22C would be very nice! :¬)

Map... thanks for sticking up a photo of JB... so nice to see him there. Sure do miss his presence.... xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeletePon; Just a little reminder for us all. :¬)

What a lovely looking place you have there. All it needs is an ice-cream van.
ReplyDeleteNow that's my kind of crowd. ;) I also approve of your choice of location for your jaunt. I've yet to dip a toe in anything other than a lake, so have a paddle for me the next time you're at the seaside.
ReplyDeleteMadame DF; It does have a winkle seller though! And they sell dillisk too! (Dried seaweed, a delicacy don't ya know!) :¬)

Milady de L; Busy innit? I'll be back at the shore before the week is out. And by the end of june I'll be making daily trips if the weather keeps up! :¬)

It's the only reason keeping me from Dundee, the Florida beaches are great for washing yer balls.
