Yesterday was very windy here on the northeast coast of Ireland, with periods of heavy rain. A storm system is moving across the island from west to east, and there was localized flooding of roadways in our area, but no significant damage. In the west and north of Ireland, there were major power outages and other related issues.

This morning brought more of the same, with gusty winds and steady rain. Here’s the view from the front bedroom (click to play):

The winds stayed into the afternoon, but the rain has moved on.

Our apartment in Annagassan overlooks the Irish Sea, with beautiful views of the sea, the coastline, the Cooley Pennisula, and the Mourne Mountains in the distance.

In the Irish language, dearcadh is the word for viewpoint, and I think it applies quite nicely for the view we have out of the window in the Great Room.

In Irish, dearcadh is pronounced dee-ARD-cah.
