ROMANCE IS NOT DEAD!

Geoffrey came back from the shops today with a present for me - a thermal vest! - and they say romance is dead!

NEARER TO GOD?

Adam rang me today to tell me what he had been up to this morning.

The roof has just been repaired on one of the churches he is responsible for so he had to go up on the roof with the architect to inspect the work. He sounds like he quite enjoyed himself and is obviously not afraid of heights. I asked if he had felt nearer to God and he laughed.

Who said being a rector is boring!

CLOGGA BEACH, ARKLOW, CO. WICKLOW

I painted Clogga Beach a long time ago and enjoyed painting it. I am known for getting lost and several times I have set out to find this beach again, only to get lost, so today as it was a lovely sunny day Geoffrey suggested that he comes with me to search for this beach!

We set off after lunch - me driving and Geoffrey giving the odd helpful comment "why are you going down there - "you missed the turning" etc. We drove beyond Arklow - that much I managed before - then drove down a few narrow winding roads. I know now why I never found it! It is a little hidden gem and I still say it is difficult to find.
