Dan, Sue, and Jessica looking very windswept on grassy terrain in front of the Baltimore beacon.

Dan and Sue travelled from Baltimore, Maryland to Baltimore, West Cork.

Looking past a white tapered tower on a cliff top to the ocean beyond. Tiny figures in the distance at the bottom of a tapered tower on a cliff top. Cows grazing on rugged grassland by rocky cliffs on the shore. The Atlantic Ocean crashing on a rocky shore.

Baltimore beacon

Purple-headed plant in the woods. Wet young green oak leaves in the woods. A moss-covered tree branch. Wet green ivy leaves on a branch in the woods.

Foliage

A stone bridge over a stream with greenery on each bank. A fern in front of a rocky stream. A tree branch in front of a stream with mossy rocks. Looking past a mossy branch at water cascading over rocks.

Woods and water

Me standing near a sign in the woods with a robin redbreast perched on it.

I met a friendly robin this morning.

Jessica in front of lush green foliage with water and mountains in the background under a cloudy sky.

Jessica on Garinish island.

An overgrown stone bridge with another bridge in the distance. Placid water with overhanging trees. Lush green foliage around a calm body of water. Looking through foliage at an island distant hills under a cloudy sky.

Wednesday session

A selfie of me smiling with Andy goofing around in front of our light aircraft on a green airfield.

Landed!

Looking down on a green and brown coastal landscape where a river enters the sea. Looking down on a fort on an outcrop of land jutting into the ocean.

Enjoying the view

A selfie of me in a cockpit with a headset on sitting next to Andy Budd who is flying, complete with aviator sunglasses.

Flyboys

A man stands next to a small prop plane on grass.

Prepping for takeoff — Andy’s taking me up for a flight!

Lying on the warm rocks of Brighton beach, listening to Veedon Fleece after swimming in the cool sea on a hot day in the Summertime in England.

Just updated to iOS 17.6, hoping that the fix for this frustrating regression had been shipped, but alas, no luck:

Hobbled datalist it is, then. 😞
