Our day began with porridge and an Irish cooked breakfast! Homemade soda bread also went down well with our cups of tea or coffee. Then we were off on our St Patrick’s Day adventures. We had a drive out on the coach in the morning, but no-one really knew where we were going or what we were seeing. It turned out that there was supposed to have been a local guide, but he had got left behind! No-one knew he had to be picked up!!! 
However we saw some beautiful scenery around The Bloody Foreland,
met a rare (these days) Irish donkey who enjoyed having its ears tickled,
had a walk on Magheroarty beach, looking out to the islands, 
and returned to base via the foot of Errigal mountain, 
and past The Church of the Sacred Heart beside Dunlewy Lough
.
Errigal is visible for miles and is very photogenic.
Further down
the lough we stopped at a hotel for a sandwich lunch where I took this last photo.
The afternoon was to be taken up with the St Patrick’s Day Parade back at Bunbeg….. and that must wait till next time!
Talk again soon.
