Ballybunion beach update

Junior and I made it to Ballybunion this afternoon. The road there was atrocious. Snow, ice, lots of pot holes re-emerging and all the detrious associated with them bursting open. Oh yeah, and the usual atrocious local drivers...

Never mind, it was worth it. The beach still has snow, but its disappearing fast. It was quite surreal to run around in snow on a beach. But it was an occasion I'm glad I experienced.

Ballybunion beach yesterday

I didn't take these snaps (I'm hoping to get over there today as its unlikely this will happen again in my lifetime) but its easier to post them up rather than keep emailing them around.

Simply staggering sight. I was on the beach last weekend and the sand was frozen solid. But snow? Covering the beach? Fantastic
