Five years ago I packed up my worldly goods and left Australia for Northern Ireland to marry my soul mate who I met on Flickr.

Everyone thought I had at last flipped my wig but I knew otherwise as not only is my 2nd husband the most wonderful human being, but I live in one of the World's best kept secrets.

We live on the North Coast in a tiny little village called Castlerock, an area of outstanding natural beauty and the North Atlantic Ocean is but a 30 second drive away.

All of last week we had the most amazing weather which made up for the miserable summer we had! Calm, still, crisp mornings which brought the sea mist rolling in and the most glorious light which had me snapping away feverishly

We lie in a natural "bowl" with the ocean in front of us and the River Bann snaking its way into the Hinterland (its a very, very long river) so we do tend to get a lot of sea mist, but I have to say last week was the best I have ever seen.
