In the Irish Mode

After bouts of heavy rain and storm, with the existing greyish skyline encapsulating our sight and absolutely no visible clouds present, I could feel the chilling wind blown across my face.

Wearing thick coat and suffering from windblown dry eyes, I still could not resist the notion of bringing my favourite teapot set, a picnic mat and a portable speaker with my favourite Ipod Touch.

Of course I should not forget the brolly, in case it rained.

I strolled to the vast empty lush green field which is next o my house, to enjoy this beautiful weather.

Not too hot nor it is too cold.

The rain droplets hung delicately on the seemingly greener leaves.

The air which is full of negative ions, smelt vividly and seducingly with love and freedom.

With a cup of hot English Tea, some Amos chocolate cookies and Irish pub music - particularly The Dubliners, all these added up to a carefree and enjoyable afternoon.

The weather and the scenery is just right to cleanse the tired, pessimistic soul and the over-strained muscles.

I gently sip the tea.  In the back of my mind where the banjo and flute used to play the Irish music just make the heart relax and dance to the catchy and bouncy rhythm.

Visualise the idyllic countryside of Ireland with the music.

Ahhh, nice and soothing.

Cheers! I lifted my cup to toast the good weather.

omg this is beautiful... you captured the poetic moment so well... reminds me of Newfoundland which is settled by the Irish. Irish music, lush green fields, the ocean, blueberry hills, cool weather, sweet air, fish and chips on grease soaked brown paper LOL. Thanks for the memories. Beautiful art is those that turns people's minds into their unconscious - in others words, set them thinking. Looking forward to more ;D
