The County Mayo flag flying proudly near Cong today as excited fans await their teams big game against Kerry this weekend in the All-Ireland semi final of the Gaelic football championships.
Today i collected my new friends, Patty and Brian Lambert and family, for a brief two day tour of Connemara and the Burren of County Clare. They were referred to me by members of my own family in the USA and it was great that i was free and able to look after them as their stay, unfortunately, is not to be a long one. Our destination on this first day was Connemara as the weather had taken a turn for the worse and the Cliffs would have been a "no go" as visibility would have been zero. What a nice family they are and we did have a great day despite the rain.

Freshly cut peat in the bog near Kylemore Abbey. Not the ideal kind of weather for saving the peat as it needs to be dry when stored for the Winter.
Here we are a again huddled together at Kylemore Abbey as the rain was at its worst. You can barely make out the Abbey in the background.
A little Irish Mermaid sitting on a rock on the coral beach at Ballyconneely. Kelly was the ideal model.
All the family at the coral beach. It is easy to see that they were enjoying the fresh air on this not so good day that was, thankfully, at this point in time improving.
