The perfect day to climb Mount Brandon

While unseasonally cold in Ireland for early April, today was a day of blue skies all over the island.

A mother and her three children climbed to the top of Brandon Mountain. They were joined by an aunt and cousins. The youngest on the climb was a little nine-year-old boy, who on his return from the mountain went to his football training.

And Dad was at home working on the farm, conscious of how late growth is this year.

Surely the best possible way to celebrate Eastertide.
