100th post

This is our 100th post which means we should have something profound to say.
True to form we don't, and will leave you with recently-taken photos instead.


Given an adjustment of ground colour from green to brown, and sky colour to a deeper ultra-violet, this photo could be the Aussie Bungle-Bungles but it is an area of north Belfast called "Cave Hill" (Cnoc na hUaighe) . We climbed it last week on a surprisingly clear day with no rain *gasp*



Cave Hill was the inspiration for Swift's Gulliver's Travels and overlooks the Belfast Lough ...



and while it was a steep climb down over not-oft trod paths (especially as we took the NOT recommended route) ...



we saw no signs of Lilliputians, Yahoos or Houyhnhnms. Although this is A's take on that theme with C and the spaniel standing near the ring fort on the summit...



The spaniel must be thinking that we have moved to Ulster just for him as we have spent a great deal of time exploring the coast near to where we are living. This is the beach at Holywood just 10 minutes drive from our house...



For an Aussie-born dog whose first public outing was to Narrabeen lakes and beach, he has been swimming on beaches more in our 3 months here than ever before. Not even the coldest and greyest of days puts him off. This day, there was was frost on the sand (never seen that before) and a temperature of 0 Centigrade. Zero.

Profundity (or our attempt at) to follow shortly ;-)
