Our First Walk at Bayfield

Uncategorized 1 Minute
The driveway is lined with trees and daffodils.
This is the entrance from the driveway, with a great mudroom for all the messy boots.
This is the closest house to us, and the first thing we passed once we turned right out of the driveway.
Only a short walk from the end of the driveway there is a small beach, with stairs down to it from the road. When the tide is high, the sand disappears and the water comes all the way to the rocks. The seaweed is plentiful, with very large, fat, brown leaves.
Just as we got here, the skies opened up and we were pelted with hail. We almost turned around, but it passed pretty quickly.
This amazing view is just around the corner from the house!
So glad we didn’t give up when the hail started because then the sun came out and we kept walking for almost an hour.
We found another friend! In the far left of the picture is a black and white dog who played with the kids and followed us all the way home. This path goes for several kilometers in a large circle and seems to be very popular for walking and bike riding.
Stay tuned for more pictures of the house, as well as our walk in the opposite direction.

  3. Hi Brogans! Best wishes on the next stop on your journey! The stone houses look beautiful and quaint. And you are clearly blessed by to have canine company everywhere you go in Ireland (St. Francis of Assisi must be interceding for you!). My daffodils are coming up, but have not gotten bold enough to open yet – the light snowfall on March 1st probably made them think twice about whether spring is really coming. Please keep up the lovely updates coming!

    1. Thanks, Suzanne! We could use Brad’s help when it’s time to light a fire…I’m not very good at it!!
      With the flowers coming up and the time change almost here, everyone’s spirits will be renewed enough to make it through the rest of the school year 🙂

  5. Looks like the coziest cottage! Can’t wait to see what the inside looks like. Is that land in the distance the Aaron Islands? Miss you all like crazy. The Delaneys XO

    1. Will post pics of the inside soon! The land in the distance is, I think, Galway city. I have to look at a map to be sure, but we are facing north and the islands would be west i think.
