More and many changes since the last blog. I've now moved to blissful Courtmacsherry, where in order to take great shots I only have to hang out my balcony window to capture almost all of Courtmacsherry Bay. Now if only it were that easy!!
Despite being told by all and sundry that I would be "out in the sticks" in the Winter, nothing could be further from the truth. OK, so we have been snowed in for the last 10 days, but the postman has delivered every day. I've being going to the pub daily after a brisk slippery winter's walk(for coffee and company of course!) and have been invited to join:
a) the local book club
b) the local boat club
c) catch the Winter solistice
d) celebrate New Year's Eve and
e) go to a F.T.R ...(yes, a "F....the recession" party on Budget night!)
Not a lot happening in Courtmac in the Winter so!!!
Am still getting the hang of my new Canon 7D camera which was made possible by the wonderful generosity of my family on my recent birthday, for which I am profoundly grateful as my photos have taken a big jump up.
I'm now exhibiting regularly in the Temperance Hall Kinsale as part of the "10 Artists monthly exhibition" and my work is also on display in Costelloe's Malt House Restaurant in Clonakilty and also in the Tourist Office across the road.
Sailing wise, I competed in the EAORA Race week in Holland where our boat came 1st in it's class and 2nd overall. And best of all was competing in Cork week, in a class one boat no less "Interceptor". A hairy and exhausting week all round, but massive feeling of achievement at the end of it all.
Saidd lots of goodbyes, almost too many this year, to really good friends like Mathieu and Amelie. Dylan and Donna are en route back to Zimbabwe and Mozambique as we speak, with their sons Nathan and Joshua. Ah well, think of all the photo visits I can plan....
And in Courtmac, there's no shortage of boats for next season. Or even this Winter.......
Till soon. Website being worked on....promise....Go check out www.marloguephotography.com
A presto Martha x
