My husband called from Chicago saying it was the coolest day there in about 3 weeks with a high of only about 75 degrees – he was very happy with the “cool” weather. I told him it was probably the warmest day here in about 3 weeks with a temperature that hit a high of about 73 degrees. Eoin and I were very happy with the warm weather! Warm or cool, it is all relative!
Anyway, the West Clare weather has been very nice for several days now, culminating in weather that today, felt almost tropical! And due to the mild, dry days we have spent lots of time at the Pollock Holes hunting sea creatures, have made a few trips around the Burren, spent a couple of hours touring the castle and grounds at the Dysert O’Dea Castle Museum in Corofin, saw yet another flight display at the Birds of Prey Center, drove along the Coast Road from Ballyvaughan down to Doolin, took a little drive up to Lahinch one day to watch the surfers and generally have kept so busy there has been little time to write about it! So I thought I would just share a few photos of our recent days in Clare.
I hope, wherever you are, you are having a pleasant summer too!

Glad to hear you finally had a break in the rain, Janet, and, by the sounds of it, have been doing plenty of exploring along the coast. That’s a cute photo of Eoin and I’m loving the scenery.
Today was a beautiful day – as close to perfect as weather gets in July in Chicagoland. We’re supposed to get down into the 60’s tonight. Declan’s weather report was spot on.

We had our break but I think it’s about to change back. Today is grey and misty, but not cold so really not bad. I heard a woman this morning state, “Sure the weather has turned hard.” Hearing phrases like that are part of the scenery for me!
I’m glad it has cooled off back there, it sounds perfect to me too!
