A blustery visit to the seaside!.

Penny Diamond came to visit on Wednesday and we decided, as it was a sunny late September day, to visit the seaside.  As well as being fun, the visit would provide material for a Blog entry with some wonderful accompanying photos.  However, like many a good idea, the actual outcome varied from the noble aspiration.  

A 20 minute car ride took us to a little coastal village called Blackrock.  The sun was shining and we grabbed our cameras.  It was then that the Fates decided to intervene. 

As soon as we stepped out of the car, we discovered just how blustery it was.  Rather than photos showcasing my poise and elegance -well, my attempts at poise and elegance- there was a series of photos proving that I was a perfect candidate to be one of the Three Witches in Macbeth.  Judge for yourself!  

It was also my first experience of trying to eat an ice cream cone through windswept hair.  It doesn't improve the taste!
