we tried to be cheerful but in the end it was just thoroughly wet and we ended up racing to the coach for shelter. hard to believe we were swimming only 20 minutes before this photo!
we got home and lit the first fire of the summer and made unfailingly comforting eggs, beans and chips. i know everyone knows how to make this but will just share my chip secret.
leave the skin on good waxy potatoes and cut into chunky chip shapes. pour olive oil into a bowl along with a good scrunch of sea salt and twist of black pepper. throw in the raw chips and toss in the oil to coat thoroughly. bake in the oven at 200 C for 20 - 30 minutes until crispy. you can do them under the grill but i always forget them and they burn too easily.
we are at liscannor, county clare for 3 days next week - we got married there 6 years ago. fingers crossed it's better weather or that i remember to take wellies and bags of dry clothes.

Looks very much like a day we had at the beach near Bude in Cornwall!! Thank goodness we were staying nearby. We spent a happy afternoon drinking vino at the gorgeous Bush Inn. Hope you have better weather-luck next week.
