Brom goes on a holiday in a holiday

Coocoo

A long time ago (well, February), Gera told Mara she had booked a cottage by the sea and did we want to come over as well. This was back in February when traveling was nearly impossible and even going to the shops was very hard, so Mara said perhaps. And then she got the house and she didn't think she could do it financially.

We were on our way!
In the end though, she managed to get some time off, found some money somewhere and booked us a flight and off we went. Which was really good. And on our second day we packed the car and started driving. We went to a place called Annalong (see Mara, I remember!) and we arrived late afternoon. 

This was our home.
I thought we would be right by the sea, but sadly we weren't. We had the Mourne mountains at our back (see the top photo) and then the Irish Sea out front. But a long way away. We did see it though, which was really good. Gera had picked that cottage especially for the sea view as well, which had been very clever.

My and Mara's bedroom
There were two large bedrooms and two bathrooms, a living/dining room and a nice kitchen. I thought it was lovely and so did Mara and Gera. And Mara took a lot of photos of the view. I just enjoyed the peace and quiet, because the only thing you could sometimes hear were the calves in the field next to the cottage.

  1. It looks beautiful. Somewhere to enjoy when you want to escape this mad world.

    1. It was definitely that: an escape from this mad world we're living in right now.

    1. Mara said a lot of hoops had to be jumped through (I never saw any, I think I might have had my eyes closed then), but I loved the cottage and want to go back soon.

  5. Wow, what a view. Love the stone walls as much as anything. Hope you are safe after the travels. We contracted Covid and will be in quarantine till the 24th of October. Stay safe. Janice

    1. Oh no Janice! I hope that you are okay by now (as I am writing this on the 25th) and that you didn't suffer too much.

      I love stone walls, but they do have the habit of getting in the way of a good view as well.
