Inishowen head: Atlantic Way, Donegal, Ireland

 

It didn’t take much to turn the weather. We watched the fronts coming over and the downpours of rain. In between the glorious Spring sunshine gave the hint of the future Plains of Heaven.

The dull interlude found us at this beautiful and idyllic Atlantic beach. Everything is perfect- the golden sand, the dark and mysterious rocks and a clear sea with small breakers. Who could resist.?

The water was 8° Centigrade and not that cold, the winning chill was provided by the stiff breeze coming in off the breakers. Just my Selkie suit today and a run down the shiney beach into the water. It was ok to wade through, but at that moment the deep blue front loaded with rain, broke over the shore. I chickened out and ran back, wet, but not exactly swimming! Grabbed my clothes and my sister, Valerie, helped me get back to the car before we got soaked.

What a lovely treat.. I feel the Summer holidays beconing me. To go down again and again to the sea…
