Brandon Bay, Kerry
Moving. Sometimes it feels good to be moving
again, simply enjoying the pleasure of driving to a new place, listening to
music with the sun shining.
Before I was talking about perfection and the Brandon Mountain, nestled within are a number of
houses, settlements. Does this effect perfection, I don’t know? I guess it
reinforces the sceptics view concerning who can describe what perfection is.
A few hours later and the
feeling has changed. Tired from driving, stressed and moody from hunger and not
being able to find the bay we are looking for. Also the guide book describes a
beach-break that is not a beach-break. It is rock. And the waves are flat.
Farrihy Bay, Clare
A beautiful sunny evening in
a beautiful isolated spot but as we walk across the boulder ridge that forms
the beach, for Caroline she can only think of death. A contrasting thought to
such a dreamy spot but then when you look.
