Margo and John come to visit

Peters parents came to visit us this weekend and, while his Dad has been here before, it was his Mum’s first trip down in the three years that Peter has been living here! It was also only her second visit to Cork ever.

The days are short at the moment, as it gets dark early. As a result we put off our original plans to visit Gougane Barra or Spike Island, and instead we went on a few nice walks.

On Saturday we all headed down Strawberry Hill for a walk along the river Lee, and we walked as far as we could go, right to the end of the corn field. Then it was home to get takeaway and watch Leinster in the rugby.

On Sunday, we parked at Blackrock Castle to do the greenway loop out there. Peter and his parents walked the full loop, and I did an 80 minute run while they did this. After this, we had food in the Turners Cross Tavern before dropping Margo and John to the train station. A nice, relaxing weekend!

There are some lovely Autumn photo opportunities out there at the moment too!Okumaya devam et
