Mmmmmf….. Spotted this in a random bookshop in Tanzania. Never have I been so excited to read about the back roads of Ireland. (25 leisurely drives might be a bit of a stretch though….)
Taken earlier this evening by Declan Roche in his back garden in Wexford Wicklow Town.

Dallas Nagata White and her husband were visiting a Kilauea lava flow in Hawaii and, sez she:
…(we) hiked up to what was formerly the Royal Gardens subdivision above Kalapana, Hawaii, where the last standing house was just recently taken over by the active lava flow. While waiting for the rain to pass, we started taking back-lit portraits of each other in front of the lava flow after I set up my camera on the tripod. For the last photo, my husband spontaneously dipped me in a kiss. It was a truly once-in-a-lifetime moment!

“Possible evolution of weather pattern for next week: A cold front may begin to move down over Ireland on Monday with some rain but there is a possibility that warm Continental air may then push in over Ireland over the following days bringing some fine, summer weather with temperatures well into the twenties. Although this is still far from certain it is a distinct possibility”.
