Day one was a flurry of activity (between breakfasts) as Olive worked on the gallery's holiday window in preparation for the lighting ceremony this evening and holiday shoppers in December.
I did manage to unpack my art supplies and gesso some boards. I'm pretty sure my sleepy self couldn't paint anything worthwhile, so gesso was just about my speed. The morning of day two I dashed outside to grab some sunrise photos. Holiday music is being broadcast throughout the streets this month. And wait, was that Bob Marley? Indeed.

On what gorgeous photos! I can feel the chill and also the warmth! Salted caramel....delious! Beautiful window displays. Small shops,quaint streets so much better than the sterile malls.

It is a perfect blend of chilly and warm and comforting, Carol! Enjoyed fish and chips with mushy peas tonight. One of my favorites here. I managed to go almost the entire day without treats....almost. ha ha!

Listowel Castle, those shops, those painted storefronts: I haven't been to these particular locations but, oh, I have been to Ireland and I have walked in late November British rain—glorious!

Glorious is the right word, Dotty!!!!!! Beyond delightful. Soaking up the rain and cold like others soak up sun!
