Last day in Kilcrohane

I spent my last full day in Kilcrohane just relaxing. The weather wasn’t great so cooked up a delicious breakfast with the last of the supplies Claire dropped off and sorted out an Irish coffee.

On the peninsula, just outside Ahakista, is a memorial to those who died in the Air India bombing in 1985. I’d never heard of this disaster until I stopped there. Their final resting place is truly beautiful.

In the afternoon, I took a drive down to the point to Bertie’s Coffee Shop. The fog was rolling in quite heavily so I was the only person there. She makes a DIVINE vegetable soup and the bread is delicious! She’s a laugh to talk to. Had a final cup of tea for the road then drove back down to the cottage. Tomorrow it’s off to Dublin to meet my friend, who is popping in for the weekend. Cannot wait to see him! Then off down to Wicklow for a week. Time seems to be flying by and I really wish it wouldn’t…

This is out the back door at the cottage. That’s the road back up to the main road
This picture-perfect loft was home for a blissful week. If you ever get a chance to go, stay here! You won’t regret it!
View from the deck at the cottage. There’s ocean beyond the fog

I'm a South African-born American who dabbles in writing, photography and cookery. I lived in England for 6 years before moving to America. My first trip to Scotland was in 2003 and it was love at first sight. 4 trips later & I'm now on a quest to find a way back to my soul-home in Scotland. I've picked up favourite foods in each place I've lived so I'm a product of all the places I've been. A sprinkling of this, a dash of that and in an emergency, a generous splash of Scotch!
