We drive from Dublin to Tramore (a busy seaside resort), spending the night on a nice enough campsite, though it feels like the middle of a housing estate – five minutes walk, though, from the cliffs and wet-suited youths diving off into the sea! Next day we head west along the Copper Coast – wonderful views and the wild flowers just now are fantastic, such variety and colour. A quick lunch overlooking Cork Harbour, then on to Kinsale for our housesit. Kinsale is a quirky little place, busy with tourists on a sunny day, but not without character…

There are several galleries and even a poet’s cafe…

 I’m looking forward to a seafood chowder…

The weather’s been warm but extremely windy and then misty, so more photos of the sea to follow. One thing’s for sure – there’s enough wind to sail in Kinsale…
