More of the Mullet

Typical Day for Heidi and Terri:
Get up around 8:30ish, have toast and tea. Heidi draws, Terri writes. Showers. Get dressed. Walk on the beach. More tea. More writing and drawing-- maybe a little reading and taking breaks to gaze at the views out the windows. More tea. Lunch. Perhaps another walk. More tea. Reading, writing, drawing, gazing at the scenery. More tea, sometimes with Sadie if she pops down after her dinner. Dinner. Gazing at scenery during dinner. Playing the "guess what time it is" game. More tea. Watch the light change over Achill in the distance. Reading. Bed.

On some afternoons we actually have left the house. Friday we took a little trip into Aghleam in the afternoon to do some shopping and then decided to drive a bit further south to the tip of the Mullet down by the Blacksod Lighthouse and to Fallmore. Fallmore sits on the Atlantic (the wild side as it's known here) and was home to saint Deirbhle who was a contemporary of St. Columba. When leaders of the Irish church gathered for the Synod of Ballisodare in 585 CE Deirbhle and another woman, Ciath, were there along with Columba (Columcille) making decisions and offering their opinions. The ruins of her church as well as her "bed" and a holy well attributed to her still remain in Fallmore.
