" Two for Breakfast "
When my friend Michael Freethy was over on holidays from America last year we would often go for breakfast to the Sugar Mountain cafe in the beautiful village of Roundwood about 4 miles away from where I live. Within five minutes of leaving my place this is the view from the top of Ballinslaughter Hill. There are about 8 mountains that suddenly appear all along the horizon. This one is Mullaghcleevaun and it has a wonderful corrie loch on top it.

We stopped the car every time and took photos but its tricky as they dont always turn out great. This one is ok and I took it last February. I was up there during the week looking at the view as I never grow tired of it. Its isolation at its finest!
Roundwood is the highest village in Ireland at 238m above sea level. To qualify as the highest village it must have a post office and Roundwood does. A very quaint one. Mike posted some cards home from it. I wonder did they ever arrive?
Id always think to myself that we would only be about an hour in the Cafe but it never worked out like that as that place somehow just gets to you and we would end up chatting and looking out the window at the beautiful place that it is, and eating apple pie and drinking gallons of tea on top of a fry up till we were stuffed!
You cant buy that really. I wonder how many people have a view like this to look at when they are going to the cafe for breafast! Im lucky and I know it! Lets hope it all opens up again soon!
Michael hasnt climbed this mountain yet but hoperully we will when he makes it over. Fingers crossed.
And the title? Its nothing to do with Breakfast kind of, but is the rhythm that the traditional Irish Reel that is played in 4/4 time.
Anyway, I hope you like the photo as its one of my favourite views and heres the Corrs " making more noise than a bag of spanners " [Terry Wogan ] live at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin. Poor Jim Corr! Bet all the men in the audience come to see him!!!!!!! Right!!! Lol! They are all very talented and they nice normal people with it too! I think they are amazing!
