The River Feale at Sunrise

You can't have too many breakfasts. 

Especially if they include scones, brown bread with jam, streaky rashers, eclairs and salted caramel cake.  Thank goodness there are many flights of stairs in the flat, else my backside would need a room all its own by the end of the month.

Each breakfast is accompanied by a good strong coffee.  You CAN have too much coffee.  Ok, I had too much coffee.
Sleep deprivation will cause excessive breakfast syndrome.  It is also caused by sweet and lovely people who have been dearly missed and offer to sit and break bread with you.

Maybe I shouldn't have started the day with Winegums.  But when in Ireland...

Listowel Castle at Sunrise

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!
