Ballycastle again after 3 years
Bright and early I left at 7am for the boat to Ballycastle! A very rough ride, and I felt seasick which is unusual for me, but still, a beautiful trip. And I'm in Ireland again! But not the Republic, still in the U.K. It's a tricky distinction. There were only 2 other passengers, two women, and the young woman slept almost the whole way. I couldn't believe it since it was such a rough ride!
Catherine (my 2nd cousin) was at the ferry terminal to meet me. It was great to see her but everyone is at work or school so I feel at loose ends, and quite tired from a lack of sleep. I thought I'd be walking their dog Willow but she was put down after biting her nephew who was rough housing. Only one mistake and that's it? That makes me very sad as she was still pretty young. The cat Midnight is still here and comes inside a bit more now.
I'm in the room for their Airbnb until their guest arrives Friday afternoon.
Catherine's sister Marie and her husband train dogs to "work" herding sheep. But she heard I wanted to walk Willow and came by to let me walk Harpo who pulled a lot but was a sweet affectionate mutt.
Michael, Catherine's husband, is preparing dinner and we talked about the dire state of the world, especially Gaza. They just played at a benefit for the children of Gaza and they raised £6,000!
I have the B&B en-suite room until Friday morning when they have 2 guests coming, the last of the season.
