When we left the Staigue Fort on Friday, we canceled our plans to go to Sneem because we drove into a heavy rainstorm. We decided to turn around and head home. We were able to drive out of the storm after just a few minutes, but it followed us home. The horse in this picture was in a field across from the stable where we went last week. You can see the dark clouds behind her.
Out over the ocean the sky was still bright, so we figured we had a little longer before the rain hit. We decided to follow our road to the end, which we had never done before. We’ve always stopped at our driveway, unless we were walking down to the beach.
This photo I took from the car because the road was so narrow that there was no space for me to get out and stand next to the car. And of course there was no guard rail!
This one gives a good view of the road and how twisty and narrow it is. It continues for at least 2 miles past the house we are staying in, but that was far enough for me! When it turned to a gravel drive and got even more narrow, I found a spot to turn around in and headed back. The view was amazing, though!
It was a good thing we turned around when we did! The clouds were right behind us and we made it home just as the first few raindrops hit the windshield. Luckily, Thomas got my text and took all the laundry off the line before we got home!
I thought this little white cottage was so pretty against the grey stone and grey sky. There are no other houses around it and it is way out on the end of the peninsula. They must really like their privacy!
