soft sunset

This weather makes life inconvenient in many ways, but it offers lovely photographic opportunities. Even if I had to sidle along a busy road to capture this one…

The beauty is difficult to remember when your heat is out, or your pipes or frozen, or the drive home is scary. And today is Budget Day in Ireland so everyone is bemoaning that, and combined with our sudden freeze, this nation is rather grumpy.

Yet, it looks like we’re due for a bit of a thaw by the end of the week, which will be most welcome.

In the mean time, I hope all those affected by our sudden encounter with real winter weather manage to stay warm.
