After a horrid on off week with the rain and continual rain all weekend, today dawned with blue sky, sun, Fingal head was looking beautiful this afternoon, the tide was out and the sea a turquoise blue with the white wave tops, incredible - even though it is officially winter it was shorts and t/shirt weather - this is more like it.

What an incredible specatacle yesterday on the river Thames for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee - i sat up to 2am our time absolutely mesmerised - fantastic.
