5 June - Winding country roads a distant memory

Back in London, grey skies after the gulf stream tropical climate in southern Ireland. Or maybe it's not the gulf stream that causes it but something else. You know what I mean? I truly cannot go look it up and spend ten mins on the correct thing just for the sake of checking facts. Tired... Went well, but will write about it some other time. Too much sun goes to your head. Am amazed anyone wants to live permanently there though ... on my drive back to Cork airport I was alone and the car radio only gave me boring stations, so I was looking around as you do and there was nobody! I know it's a bank holiday there but at 7pm on a Sunday where were they all? I barely passed a petrol station. I never saw any shops of note in an 80 mins drive. I'd go mad there.
