Summer Holidays are over - can you believe it.
I went on a sailing course and completed my Level 2B Sailing. I sailed in a Pico which was cool. The weather was not that nice but we sailed anyway.
I also went on a windsurfing course. One of the days we did theory as the weather was too bad to be out. The other days it was quite bad as well but we windsurfed anyway.
We did the beginners windsurfing and it was really fun but you get pulled over by the wind and get wet a lot. I managed to master windsurfing in one direction and then turning round and sailing back. It was good and the instructors were really helpful and friendly.
We spent quite a lot of time at the beach, having BBQ's and went for a couple of nice horse rides.
We also attended the Feis which is a weeks music tuition and there was a local music festival.
Suddenly its back to school!
