Korky's best day ever

There’s nothing we as a family like more than a day at the beach. We can go year-round in all types of weather. The beaches in Ireland tend not to be warm or tropical however. The fresh ocean air of the west coast has a certain healing effect and the waves crashing in and creeping back out is just as therapeutic as a session of vipasanna meditation. Many families go to the beach to get away from the routine of their everyday lives. Some go for a refreshing swim in the cool water, some take a stroll around the various cliff walks and some lounge about on the sandy beaches. We usually do a combination of all those and we have a particular family member who enjoys the occasion just as much if not more than us – our 4-year-old dog, Korky.
