We have had a great weekend, seeing friends and touring the area, but now the rain is pouring down again and we wait for a change in the wind to make our way home.
The countryside is similar to Britain, but there is more rain here - or so it seems!  This tower was built to enable the villagers of Cloyne to see the Viking hordes and hide the valuables before they landed.
Cloyne Cathedral must have had a much bigger congregation in times past

the gardens and arboretum at Fota House near Cobh, Cork


We had a picnic on  Sunday at a beach near Ballycotton.


As soon as the weather changes we hope to sail home!  This has been the coldest, wettest trip we have ever had by a very long way!
