This site is famous for the wire rope bridge between the island of Carrick-a-Rede and the cliffs of Northern Island. However, the whole region is spectacular and the prosaic name doesn’t do justice to its rugged beauty. The north coast of Northern Ireland is suitably stark, severe and stunning. Apparently many Irish people have never been to Northern Ireland – it was once dangerous to cross the border and even the stunning beauty of the Northern coast is insufficient inducement today.
Along the green, lush, road to Carrick we saw cows sun-bathing on the golden sands of the beach. One of my favourite images for many years has been of polar bears in the Arctic watching the sunset. Now I have another favourite image. I love to see God’s creatures appreciating God’s creation – bears, dogs (our dog Samwise likes to watch the sunset), and apparently even cows are capable of seeing beauty – I wonder how much these creatures know?
Anyway, again I digress, which helps to explain my strong aptitude for procrastination (or does it lend support?) On holidays I have more time to ponder…
