A bad day?
11th June 2010
Today was one of those days when things just kept going wrong! I intended to go to Galway early to set my nephew John on the bus to Cork and to do a few things in town. John had helped me with some photoshop during the week and was up very late lastnight printing.( I cant say how late because his Mum might read this!!) We said we would be in Galway by 10am. Galway is a little more then an hours drive from Westport. Anyway we finally left westport at about 12noon!. we had some jobs to do on the way and poor John kept missing each bus he planned to catch. By 1.30 we were approaching Tuam and confident of reaching Galway on time for the 2.05 bus when the car broke down! So another hour was lost waiting for the breakdown truck!! We eventually got John on the 5.05 bus and we made it back to Westport for about 8.30pm. I had no pictures for the blog and so headed out to Berta to get the sunset. there wasn't one! But it was great to be out in the brisk Atlantic breeze. I photographed clare island and loved the tiny hint of colour in an otherwise grey scene. on my way back through Murrisk I stopped and photographed the famine memorial, now those people really new what a bad day was like.!
