Lying in bed last night, I found myself thinking, “I’d really love to go to the beach tomorrow!”

So, despite the fact it’s the middle of winter, that’s what the Shans did this morning - we headed for Ballybunion and had an absolutely splendid time there!!

Here are some photos, hot off Mrs Shan’s phone. All we’re missing is a snappy little accompanying Beach Boys song… �� ��
