Learning begins as sea fog lifts from the west Cork coast

HERE, on the coast, we have sometimes had fog for days, while inland the sun is shining out of china-blue skies. 

Our fog is sea fog, of course, not like the common-or-garden early morning fog one sees on fields (and indeed gardens) all over Ireland after especially warm days.

Sea fog may be good for the skin or, on the other hand, rust one up. So dense is it that one can barely see the world 10 metres beyond the tip of one’s nose. This is, of course, a novelty for children. We have had our 50% Czech grandchildren aged eight and three here in west Cork to visit us.
