The view from my room: I would say that I am very lucky to be living where I am at the Moment because we have about the best view in Glencullen. I live right on top of a mountain and our kitchen window looks down through a large valley and at the end of the valley you can look out to sea. But now our view has been spoiled because the council has built houses about twenty yards down the road and the roofs of the new houses have blocked the view. But I will never forget the Summer's morning I got up at six o' clock to go fishing. The sun was just rising and there was a slight frost on the ground, the soil was hard and any noise made in the village was clearly heard in the clear morning air. But there was a streak of red light on the sea from the sun peeping up over a cloud, you could see the Welsh mountains in the distance, the morning was that clear. In spots in the bottom and sides of the valley, light shone from sheets of ice over small pools and swamps. It is only on mornings like that that you realise how lucky you are to be alive and what people in town are missing.
