Portaferry

Lou and I were down in Portaferry for a few days during the week taking advantage of the beautiful weather. Here's the view from the caravan:


We arrived on Wednesday and after unpacking took a walk along the beach. On a clear day like this you can see the Isle of Man.


Afterwards we had a BBQ before returing for DVDs and a few glasses of wine.


On Thursday we cycled what seemed like an easy 16 miles to Cloughy, a town that only exists because it has a Centra petrol station cum-garden centre.


It was a charming hazy afternoon and we ate ice-cream by the promenade with our legs dangingly over the wall watching yachts go by before the return journey.


That evening we had an excellent meal at the Portaferry Hotel and returned to sit outside for a few minutes and gaze at the blanket of stars on a cloudless sky.

On Friday we took a small picnic to the beach and Lou managed to get in a swim even though the sea was baltic. Ah, nothing like a refreshing September swim in Ireland!


Alas my two week holiday is up so the regular updates will begin tomorrow no doubt with something along the lines of the joys of returning to work.

Hope you all had a great fortnight!
