always something going on

Walking the coastal walk is such an adventure and you never know what you will see.  It changes everyday and it is interesting to see the changes.  The tides keep shifting everything around so what wasn’t there today could be there tomorrow.  Another day, another walk, another discovery and another story.  Today's story

There are so many things to see and do.  Take a walk along the coast and take in its beauty.

Enjoy some family fun in one of the many small beaches and bring some food if you wish.

Maybe you have some chores to do before your day is free.  Once this guy is done cutting the lawn all he has to do is step out of his gate and he is on the coastal walk.   One of the benefits from living right beside the walk.

This little guy is taking in the view which is not a bad way to spend a few or many minutes.  Once satisfied, he'll be on his way.  You can do the same, there are places to sit if that is what you wish to do.  Bring along the things you wish to do, a book, a nook or just sit and look.

If you need to practice playing your music, make sure to bring along your instruments.  People love hearing and listening to music.  These two young girls were playing when I happened to pass them and they sounded great.  Of course it was Celtic music :)

Make sure you have both of your shoes on before you head home.  If not, the tide won't guarantee that they will be there for very long.

And if you were waiting for your ship to come in, well, this could be it.

and finally here is the Sunday Sound

 That's it and have a great day wherever you are!

The town workers have been working on this street for the last few weeks digging up the road and laying some PVC pipe.  I guess there is some kind of problem but I have no idea what it is.   At least they are enjoying the friendly conversation.

we're almost there guys

time to sweep up and call it a day

Garden of Remembrance

A Garden of Remembrance is also located in a section of the Letterkenny Town Park.  It opened in honour of the memory of members of the Gardaí and Army who have given their lives in service of the United Nations. A stone bench was unveiled in the park on 10 July 2007 to honour James Duffy (VC), a British soldier during the First World War, and an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy.

This is the entrance to the herb garden in the Letterkenny Town Park.  It is a nice and quiet place unfortunately some the herbs were pass their growing time and were probably picked.  I have no idea if someone oversees this garden or if people can pick from the garden when it is in bloom.  I would imagine they have permission.  It's a nice addition to the town park.

letterkenny town park

Last week we took the bus and headed to Letterkenny for a few hours. We walked to the Letterkenny Town Park aka The Bernard McGlinchey Town Park to spend some time and enjoy the park.  We had been there before and it is truly a beautiful park.  An enjoyable day indeed!

The entrance gate to the park using the The Bernard McGlinchey Town Park name.

The wall with the Letterkenny Town Park name is to the left of the gate and completes the using of both names as you enter the park.

The park area is circular and allows people to walk around it similar to a track.

Just in case you need some extra energy, there is a bakery on site, just follow the arrow :)

If there are kids or adults playing in the middle area don't worry, seats are available and built in so you can sit and watch.

A partial view of Letterkenny from the park.

The spire you see is the Cathedral of St. Eunan and St Columba.

CDP theme day - My City's Skyline

Moville, County Donegal, Inishowen Peninsula, the town we call home.  The view is from the bottom of the road leading into town.  If I waited for nightfall and the lights to come on, I still would be waiting :)  No tall buildings or skyscrapers here.
