Chauffeurdrive/ Private car and Driver/ Ireland West

The photos above, and below, were taken on a lonely bog road in Connemara. I love to venture into places where the normal tours will never take you and where you can drive for miles without seeing a bus or a car. The dark brown mounds in the top picture are cut peat waiting to be loaded on trucks and brought in for winter storage. The picture below shows the sheep happily grazing on the roadside. In isolated areas like this, this would be a common sight.
Note the lovely blue sky. My dear friend, the late Jane Conneen, who toured with me on a number of occassions, was a wonderful artist, and well know and respected for her work in the minature book world. Jane always loved our Irish skies and claimed that there was nowhere like it for the wonderful clouds.
This is a photo of the coral beach near Carraroe in county Galway. The colours in the waters here are wonderful and the water itself is as clean as you can find it anywhere. Nice and warm also as we do have the Gulf Stream on our western coast.

I am now at the end of another wonderful year of touring and once again i find that i have added many new and dear friends to my already growing family of friends. I would love to take this opportunity to thank everybody who came my way this year for choosing me and my service. I would especially like to thank you all for all the wondereful letters of gratitude that you wrote me since returning home. I feel blessed to have been here to serve you and will always do my best to help you to enjoy this wonderful country of ours.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
