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.
