Alison:

The people in the part of Ireland where I stayed for a few days (Warrenpoint, County Down) say that if you can see Finn MacCool on the top of Slieve Foy, it's not raining, it you can't see it, it is raining. During the two weeks I was there, I saw it only on the last day, just before driving to Belfast to catch a plane home.

All the time I was there, people kept telling me how lovely it was during the three weeks immediately before my arrival I've since heard from folks over there that the weather has been beautiful since I left. Maybe I'm a bad omen or something.

Keep the faith.
