Mermaid in Ireland

Mimi and the North Atlantic. 
Not a confrontation, no. More of a temporary alliance. 
The mighty ocean offered to temporarily tame its normally feisty waves so that we could go in for a dip. The 'we' did not include the Tontons Cannettes, who treat all forms of water with extreme suspicion. 

Mrs Raheny was sort of concerned at the prospect of taking relatives of her husband's in varying degrees of intoxication or physical disability - or both - to one of the coldest swimming places in Ireland. 
She needn't have worried. They watched the spectacle from the comfort of their foldable camping chairs.
