Have I died in my sleep and gone to Heaven?

Left home at 6.30am and drove down to Connemara. Absolutely scorching day driving down through Sligo and through Cong and Maam where they filmed "The Quiet Man". Eventually arrived on Omey Island near Clifden. You can drive across when the tide is out. Friends have loaned us their cottage on the island for a week, and it is fabulous! Omey is about a mile by a mile and a half and is covered in wild flowers. We have to bring our own drinking water but the cottage is well supplied with turf for the fire.

Obviously no Internet access which is why this is a week late. I will update this and the Sabbatical blog over the next couple of days.
