this was a fortnight in West Cork
(south-west Ireland)
at the end of summer
WEEK ONE was a cottage on Toe Head

an edge-of-the-world wilderness on the Atlantic

Toe Head is near to the town of Skibbereen but feels apart
nearby are some intriguing places with magical names:
Leap, Roaring Water Bay, Chimney Cove
Barleycove, Crookhaven, Squince
Sherkin, Inchydoney, Mizen
Ballydehob, Ring, Owenahincha
I grew very fond of passing through cheery Ballydehob
(Schull was least favourite, then Baltimore, which might have had a smug edge
… but yachting types might disagree)
