Hungry Hill On New Year's Eve.



 I awoke to see Jack Frost and his missus had been snow painting over on Hungry Hill on Beara peninsula last night:



That's one thing that's really resonated with me this year.  Ireland is such a beautiful country.   

People often commented to my grandmother what a beautiful view there is from where she lived.  My grandmother would give a pragmatic reply: "The view will not feed you".

Sometimes when I go walking on our peninsula I drink the views and the scenery and marvel at God's painting skills.  I feel like I am living in the middle of a giant oil painting.

Hopefully next year we will be able to go to places much farther away and tourists will return to here?

I wish everyone a great 2021.  Thanks for reading and special thanks for all your comments.

Happy New Year.
