On
January 4th 2008 we woke up to a slight snow shower. As the morning progressed
so did the beautiful snowy scenery around us. These are just few photos
taken around our cottage, fieldfs and of course the lough. Unfortunately
the snow did not continue. A little more than an hour or so later the
thaw had crept over the majority of the fields leaving just a memory of
our first Fernlea snow covering.

photograph, Fernlea's drive way leading to the cottage with Lough Gill
and the Slieve Deane mountains in the background. Note the sky's colour.
There is more snow in those clouds sadly not much of them spilled over
us at Fernlea. Above left, our lane outside our field, looking up Butler's
Lane. Fernlea Cottage would be on the right. Right above, looking down
Butler'sLane and

across our central field towards the cottgaqge. The rear of 'thevoid' can just be seen on the right hand side of the cottage. Left, at the the top of our right hand side looking down the field to the lough with Castle Point and its bare wintery trees junting out to what must the cold and bitter waters of Lough Gill. Below left Fernlea Cottage and 'thevoid'. from Butler's Lane again but at the top of the |
 |
left
hand side field looking towards the lough and 'Half Moon Bay'. Beyond
the peninsula is the entrance to the River Garravogue that runs through
the centre of Sligo town. As you can bare witness to, this part of Sligo
County come rain and or shine, snow or sleet, it is a beautiful area.
