Longing for a Clearance

Wild wild day. The rain wasn't too bad. The sun even came out to play for a brief while at lunchtime but all day long the wind howled and boy was it cold! One of those typical Irish winds which goes right through you like a hot knife through butter but without the heat.
One by one, people drove up to the South Beach. One by one they got out of their cars and one by one they got back in again and drove away. Nobody was brave enough to go further than this guy. Except for his dog which really didn't want to get back into the car at all.
Me? I just watched and blipped for 10 minutes. Then I too got back in the car and drove away.
