(Almost) Solstice

A lazy morning then we went off to Glengarriff woods for a yomp - everywhere lush and mossy and dripping. As soona s we arrived we attracted the attentions of a very cold robin. Son#1 found he had been sitting on a crisp (remains of fuel on the way home yesterday) which went down very well - even eating out of his hand. A slightly surreal moment as we strolled around the Big Meadow Walk, a chap approached and greeted us with:  great to get away .... from the NIgerian bandits! We were a bit non-plussed at that.

We timed it well to be just coming over the hill as the sunset for the (almost) Solstice lit up the skies. Another car pulled in behind us as we admired the return of the light.
