Sundays are usually spent exploring the Sneem vicinity, looking for places we haven’t been to yet. The beach was the loose plan for today but we ended up exploring old buildings -the old hospital- between Sneem and Caherdaniel.
I have this thing with old buildings. There’s something about the raw beauty emanating from the ivy covered stone walls that attracts me. I like imagining how a household was organised. How many fireplaces? Was there a second floor? How many people were living here?
Then, you just turn around -or look up- and there is the best frame, for the best view. Ever.
We also made a stop at the beach.
As I know sea lettuce is edible and that one did look quite fresh, I brought it back home and did a little research online about it. I’ve learned that it is best to use seaweeds that are still attached to the rocks when -responsibly- harvested or, if detached, that you’ve actually seen being brought in by a tide. That beautiful sea lettuce will finish its cycle as an organic fertilizer in the garden. All’s well that ends well.
