Pretty thatch cottages from County Donegal, as you may have noticed I love cottages and have to photograph them. These ones are at Malin Head, County Donegal.

Last weekend we got a chance to get away for a night so off we headed through County Cavan and Fermanagh to Donegal. We stayed the night in Bundoran. Here are a few of my photographs of our trip. We packed in loads of sites so I will share more photographs in another post soon.

As you know I spend a lot of time in County Leitrim and County Donegal and both counties have wonderful scenery and both are located along the Wild Atlantic Way. Below are some of my photographs of my visits to the coastline between Bundoran County Donegal, Tullaghan County Leitrim and on to Mullaghmore in County Sligo. If you haven't visited this area, you really should put it on your travel list for 2016. It is well worth a visit and there are lots of small towns and villages to explore, with friendly people and good food.

Still waiting for Summer to arrive here in Ireland. In the meantime here are some photos of the seaside town of Bundoran in County Donegal along the Wild Atlantic Way. I visit quite often and enjoy the long walks along the cliffs. It looks so much better when the sun is shining too.

There is a great indoor water park for the family just along the sea front. Along the cliff walk called Rougey Walk there are great views back over the town and also to Tullan Strand which is a haven for surfers. You can spot the Fairy Bridges along the walk and the  wishing chair where people have made their wishes and left some money for the fairies. The views of the Atlantic Ocean are breathtaking and you will see some more of them if you explore my blog.

The beach in the town itself is very family friendly while the beach at Tullan Stand is used for surfing and other adventure sports. It is really pretty with a dramatic backdrop of sand dunes and hills. 

The town itself has lots of shops and restaurants and the Great Northern Hotel, Golf and Leisure Centre is perched on the cliff top overlooking the  ocean.

So when your planning your next trip out along the Wild Atlantic Way be sure to stop by the seaside town of Bundoran.

A few weeks ago when on my travels along the Wild Atlantic Way, I stopped off at a car boot sale in Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal. I always love a bargain and enjoy looking around these sales. I saw a few lovely vintage china tea sets and paintings but finally I decided on buying this sketch/drawing which I think will look really good in my sitting room once I have it decorated. It appears to be a lady from Northern Ireland that did it and I did some research to see what the building is and it was a former prison- that may explain the bars on the windows. I have also chosen the paint for the room and next weekend I will get painting. I was away this weekend in the West of Ireland so will post about that soon too...

Oh at last the sun is shining  here in Ireland, it is great and lifts everyone's spirits. Last weekend I visited Derry City. I had never visited before and hope to go back again soon on a longer visit. Here are few images. I also took a nice photograph of the Atlantic Ocean in County Donegal. Hope you have nice weather where ever you are!
