(north of Letterkenny). After a long-ish drive up on the Friday afternoon through constant rain, we were fearing the worst. However, we were very well spoilt with loads of sunshine, and only a few short showers.
We explored around Donegal plenty, as I had never been, and got to Donegal Town, Killybegs, Fanad Head, Bloody Foreland, Slieve League cliffs, across Lough Swilly to Inishowen as well as paying a day trip to Londonderry.
The photo was taken on the beach at Rathmullan, and seems to rather spoil the whole idea??
We also had the privilege of celebrating Mum and Dad's 37th wedding anniversary while we were away, which we did in good style in an excellent restaurant just outside Dunfanaghy.
We met up with Graham, Angela and Megan Cooper at the Church of Ireland in Stranorlar, where a mutual friend of Dad and Graham is now the vicar. We all went out for lunch afterwards to celebrate Graham's 60th birthday.
Then it was back to Dublin, and back to work for Sarah and me, but we continued to enjoy Mum and Dad's company for a few more evenings, while they did their own thing in the day time. This seemed to involve going out with Auntie Alison, and looking at Yummy Mummies (you can work that one out for yourselves!) The last night Dad and I went out for a couple of beers in the local pub in Stillorgan for a bit of male bonding, an excellent end to a great 10 days.
