Today I’m spending the day relaxing on Inch Beach in the beautiful County Kerry. Inch is just one of many amazing spaces along the Wild Atlantic Way. You can check it out here…

Today is a public holiday, part of the June Bank Holiday and we have fantastic temperatures between 22 and 25 degrees. You can check out Met Eireann here…

And in the middle of all this beauty and relaxation I’m taking one minute to be really grateful and mindful of this beautiful weather. It has been a long winter and a sunny day lifts everybody’s spirit! It’s heart-warming to hear conversations and laughter blowing on the breeze and to see families spending time together, outdoors, soaking up the sun, building sand castles and swimming or surfing in the sea. It also brings back many fond memories of holidays spent on the beach with our two children when they were young.
What might your Just one minute Monday be?
Much love,
Marie xx

When we finally got some good weather this past week, I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed just puttering around my back yard, watering the flowers!

It’s always the simple pleasures Ann that I enjoy most and like you, pottering outdoors and feeling a warm air does it for me!

Good for you, Marie. We all deserve a beautiful moment now and again especially after this extremely long and harsh winter many of us had. Lucky lucky you! This beach is absolutely gorgeous and man do I wish I could be there today! Thank you for sharing. As for my moment… I was truly grateful that one of my cats flew through a dental surgery and was absolutely fine. 💕😎💕

Yes a long long winter but one day on Inch beach makes up for it all. Today may not be your day but maybe your photos will bring you to Inch Beach some day soon and if it is on your horizon be sure and put me in the picture so we can cross paths! I’m so glad your treasured cat came through surgery so well. Xx

I have every intention of heading out to Beaver Island this summer for a photos and fun. That is a beach, not as nice as your Inch Beach but I’ll take it. The others are in Canada and no way I’m crossing the border by myself. I’ll have to talk hubby into going with me to Sherkston Beach which is SOOOOOO gorgeous! (in Canada) Our time is just so darn limited on account of what we do with our special cats. I’m really going to try though …. THANK YOU for the inspiration! 😘😘😘

Please share your trip to Beaver Island and Sherkston if you manage to get time for a break there and I hope you talk your husband into the trip. Your interest in special cats sounds intriguing. Keep the beautiful photos coming and keep sharing!

In thinking matters over, I’ll have more success inviting one of my neighbors to come with me to enjoy a respite from our lives over that of my husband. Besides, someone must be here to put out lunch for our cats. I’ll work on asking one of two women I have in mind to go to the beach (Canada) with me. They can chill and relax while I buzz all over the place with my camera in hand. Sounds like a fair deal. 😎

Beautiful scenery & post! Thank you Marie.
My one minute Sunday today is enjoying sitting listening to the rain dropping it’s percussive drops on our pergola roof outside, hearing my man busy making his Vanilla caramel slice in the kitchen, to take to a family night tonight & enjoying the moments of contentment within each 😀

Ohh Marie. This made my day. I was just going through photos and ran across a couple of photos from there. We stayed only one night and I do think it was one of my favorite places to just sit. A beautiful and very large beach. For me… my one minute Monday was the decision to skip dinner and just have some cheese and wine on the edge of the pool.
PS. Is your son ready? this week, yes?

Hi Donna, thanks for your lovely chatty reply! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay in Inch. The mountain backdrop does it for me! Your one minute Monday sounds fantastic…I love spur of the moment decisions and anything that brings change of routine.
If you are referring to exams, he managed to sit them all and voiced a decent level of satisfaction! So as they say, where there’s life there’s hope!! Next big date 15.8.18 exam results! Thanks for thinking of him. Xx
