June 2024, Shore Walks and Visitors.

 Hello again my loves, how are you doing today? I am continuing my productive streak and posting for the third day in a row! Let's see how long I can keep this momentum going. ;-)


These photos and videos are from the first full week in June this year. The weather was somewhat mixed, and I was busy with a few projects, so I only got out for one long walk, but it was a good one. I walked along the coastal path at Pollan Bay, and then in the path over the bent grass, almost as far as Carrickabraghy Castle, before turning back. The sea looked positively turquoise at times, and the sound of the waves on the stones was so soothing. I also collected two big bags of rubbish and recycling from the beach to take home and dispose of properly, as well as some more old fishing rope to use in my art. It is so sad to see how much rubbish gets washed up, but I do appreciate the free art supplies!

On the Sunday that week I walked down to my family's shore house to open it up in anticipation of visitors. One of my aunts is a Carmelite nun down in Dublin, and she was coming to Ballyliffin for a holiday, and my Mum came over from England to stay with her. It was good to see them, as well as my Uncle and his partner who brought them down, and we all had a good catch up. Later I made dinner for my Mum and Aunt and stayed for the evening before walking home. It feels so good to be able to simply walk to see family!
