after constant gardening

I needed the sea and big wide empty spaces.

I went to Toe Head and walked on the headland. The sea was blue and turquoise and still as a pond. It was very clear, I could see Long Strand and Galley Head to the east, the Kedge, Cape Clear and Fastnet Rock in the west. I wandered for ages on the clifftops, enjoying the quiet, and I saw a dolphin.
