Next Stop from Bere is broadway

I HAVE travelled the road to Castletownbere en route to the Bere Island ferry many times over the last few months, and the sudden stunning vistas were never as striking as on the eve of winter solstice.

The road had suddenly turned the colour of burnished pewter, and shafts of sunlight illuminated the fat grey rain clouds.

A fiery red glow in the sky was reflected in the rolling sea, ahead of the fast falling darkness.
