Sunday Sunday

Sunday morning mainly spent lazing out in the courtyard in the sunshine, planning our day, eating breakfast and drinking coffee; one of the American girls Natalie bought a huge coffee grinder AND beans all the way from the States, coffee-snobs-r-us! I also introduced the Pink Cottage girls to motorbike racing as we watched Chaz on Eurosport and live timing doing a grand (Irish lingo) job in World Supersport! Lunched on healthy but delicious smoked chicken salad wraps made by Dana and baked some cupcakes for Flo’s birthday…..(now I have discovered the handy photo uploader tool on here be prepared for a barrage of pics!)....

After baking Rosie, Clara, Aisling, Claire, Clemmie and I headed off to Ballycotton to walk along the cliffs, was absolutely beautiful…

Found a little path which, via extremely steep and winding steps, led to a small cove sheltered by some big rocks, seems to be a local spot for swimming as the steps have been built into the rock all the way down into the sea! Aisling and I took the opportunity to have an impromptu dip! Was absolutely freezing and I think some of the local fishermen got a bit of an eyeful when we got back into our dry clothes, but felt it needed to be done!

We walked a bit further down the path, had a rest on a bench and a little group snapshot…

…then turned round and headed back to the harbour for a Bulmers in the Blackbird pub. Now are back cosy and dry in the house, making sausage and mash for dinner whilst watching xfactor and enjoying the fire…. :-)
