Grey Skies and Happy Sighs...: August to September 2024, End Of Summer.

Hello my loves, and happy Friday! I hope that you have a fun and/or restful weekend planned? I am pleased to tell you that with this post I am caught up through August and into September, woo hoo! Hoping to keep that momentum going, haha.
With the end of August and all my visitors going back home to work and school, it really felt like the end of the summer. I know a lot of people find that depressing, but Autumn is my favourite season, and I find that I become much more active in the cooler months, so I was looking forward to it. Of course, it was sad to say goodbye to my visitors, but it will be good to be able to focus on work again. It was a very busy summer and I'm afraid I neglected my little business, so I am determined to pick up the slack in the coming months.
Gareth left on the Tuesday of that week, but we had a trip out on the Monday and stopped at the Drift Inn again in Buncrana for a drink. I had a doctor's appointment in Clonmany on the Wednesday, and then went for a walk along the Clonmany River Walk since I was in the area. I used to go there so often when I lived nearby, but it had been a while, so it was nice to go back. It did start raining while I was at my appointment, and it got steadily heavier, so I stopped at the Market House Cafe for cup of tea and a wee treat to see if the weather would ease up before my walk home. It didn't, so it was a very wet walk back, but I actually enjoyed it. If you have a good coat and warm clothes, and are heading home to a warm, dry house, it's really not bad at all. I like to remember how lucky I am in moments like that!
I was lucky to catch a couple more glimpses of the Aurora that week as well! It wasn't nearly as bright or spectacular as that time back in May, but still so magical to see. Once again I have to think how lucky I am to live here and get the chance to see such beauty!
