So have you given any more thought to the picnic next weekend?
Yeah…the weather forecast says it’s going to be fine.- Oh brilliant! So where’ll we go?
- Well, I was thinking it’d be lovely to go for a nice long hike around Lough Dan.
- What do you think?
- Oh, I don’t know.
- It’s really beautiful there but if it’s gonna be hot, I’d much rather be by the sea.
- Maybe we can even have a dip.
- Yeah, but I fancy some exercise.
- I’m stuck at a desk most of the week and really need a good long stretch.
- I don’t feel like hanging around a beach all day.
- Well, how about doing a bit of both?
- We could do a long coastal walk from Bray to Greystones
- and even have a swim at both beaches.
- That sounds like a good idea.
- We can have a picnic half way along the walk
- somewhere up Bray Head with a nice view of the sea.
- Great.
- I’m looking forward to it.
- Me, too.
