Woke at 5 am. “Birds”
Dressed quietly and headed down to watch the horse channel but there was only cooking on so tried to sneak around the castle which is impossible with its creaky floors and squeaky doors so ended up going outside for a walk.
The morning was as calm as could be and the bay was like glass.
I walked over to the public dock and ran into the two dogs that we had met yesterday. They are very good company. Tigger the cat was still in the castle sleeping on a chair in the second floor hallway.
The sun came up like Homers rosy fingered dawn except that it was a golden fingered dawn. I got some real nice reflective shots of the castle,the boat house and dock and some of the boats out on the water. It was a gorgeous morning and so peaceful.
Went back inside and had a cup of tea and watched a little TV. There were some great houses, more horses and a bit of news. I wrote in the journal next until I was caught up. Maureen and I had a lovely breakfast of fish and tea on the terrace and then we packed up the car. Tigger was up and about too and caught a shrew out on the patio.
Last night at the restaurant we had asked what time church was in the morning as we were going to be leaving and did not want to have to try and negotiate the hill at the same time as lots of other vehicles. We obviously let enough people know that we were going to be leaving that morning as there was no one on the street when we left.
We found the road to be very bumpy but we made it to the top with no problem! High Five! At that moment we were great!
We swung by St Barahanes, the catholic church at the ‘top of the hill’. Very quiet, very lovely and simple ‘. It had one of the most beautiful paintings of St Teresa I have ever seen. A really nice church.
After that we were on our way to Skibereen, Baltimore and Cape Clear.
