There’s no sign of footprints on the beach yet this morning as I tip toe into the water to have a quick swim before work. It’s quiet apart from the squabbling black headed gulls, a dog barking in the distance and the waves breaking on the shore.
Thank you for this piece. I wholeheartedly agree with your definition of touristing and now I really want to go back to your part of the world. I did it the mainstream way a few years ago and now feel as if I missed a lot.

Come back! I’ll write the itinerary!
Gorgeous post! If I ever make it back to Ireland, I know *exactly* where to visit! Thank you so much for sharing your glorious North Coast 😊
Hi Ciara! Six spot burnet caterpillar feeds on common bird foot trefoil. Cinnabar moth love ragwort 😊 plenty of ragwort everywhere actually this year!
Hmmm strange the burnet seemed to be in the ragwort-are the caterpillar very similar?!
Yes pretty similar both caterpillars are yellow and black but if you see one on ragwort it's going to be a cinnabar https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/invertebrates/moths/cinnabar
