My daughter Heather, catching up on school work during the lockdown of spring 2020.
It’s been an odd time, staying close to home, only straying out for walks and swims and shopping when we really need stuff. Hope everyone is doing OK out there in the rest of the world.
I met Elvin today, at his workshop in Liscolman, between Coleraine and Ballycastle on the North Coast of Ireland. He’s been making pens from the barrels of Bushmills Whiskey, amongst other things. Guitars, kitchen cabinets, bowls…, not from barrels, though. He’s a maker of things.
And here’s one of the finished pens.

Storm ‘Barbara’ is on the way, a large area of low pressure has been building a big swell out in the Atlantic for the last lot of days, and the waves are incredible. This is Portballintrae, N. Ireland, 21/12/2016 (Winter solstice)
Coleraine, N.Ireland 25/11/2016. Mist rises over the Cutts at Castleroe, as the sun begins to rise over the River Bann. Temperatures dropped to as much as -7 degrees overnight, causing widespread frost and fog.
The end of another beautiful day on Downhill beach on the North Coast.
