Bearing Along the Beara Way

I decided that, as George & Yorkie had done such a good job of leading us to that wonderful church, I should take the rest of the day off from my responsibilities as chief guide, and let them plan the rest of the day out.

I take my hat off to them, they did a really fine job. They led us on a walk from the church, out to the coast. It was a fine circular walk taking in several miles of coast. Once again we were walking along the Beara Way which would be a great path to do as a long distance walk as it takes in some lovely scenery and places.

Sorry our picture's a bit dark, but it turned out rather a cloudy day, although fortunately not a cold one. It did make for quite a atmosphere though, and, hopefully, it gives you the impression of the empty Irish coastline and lots of space. We passed a bay full of discarded scallop shells and helped our male minder collect an armful, as he thought it would be rather nice to use them for the baptisms he does. 

Not much further along, we stopped to admire a piece of maritime artwork that really took our fancy. A few simple items from the beach had been turned into something rather wonderful - a mermaid, or was it a mer man?

I was really enjoying playing tourist, rather than guide, and the day wasn't over yet.

Lots of love Patrick, George, Yorkie & Co xxx
