Of the New Year in Donegal

 I'm just back from a few days' break in Donegal. The weather was awful but it was also good too. In between the heavy and frequent showers there was fabulous sunshine which bathed the coastline and countryside in glorious light and shades of colour that you would struggle to see anywhere else. We stayed at McGrorys in Culdaff which is a fantastic live music venue and were treated to some wonderful Irish folk music for two of our three nights there.
Apparently one of their busiest days is New Year's Day when all those that have survived the traditional swim in the sea visit the bar to re-heat their souls with a glass or two of Guinness.
