Ballymoney, Co. Wexford

We went down to Ballymoney on Sunday to see Mick & Blath. We had a great time. The drive was less than an hour, and it was lovely down there. We went for a walk on the beach and got a bit of sun even. The beach down the road from their house is a quiet little cove with golden sand and stones near the water's edge. Like most Irish beaches, it's nice and quiet. Irish beaches are the best beaches in the world (after the Maldives), if it wasn't for the cold Irish sea!

We met Stan, their new dog - an adorable and friendly mongrel who jumps and grabs anything left lying around - within 5 minutes of arriving, we saw him take off with a slipper in his mouth. He also loves carrying logs around the backgarden. He obviously has strong jaws, but you get the feeling that Stan will never bite anyone - he's just too nice a dog for that!
