The mouth of the Crana river in Buncrana, Inishowen, County Donegal.

This panoramic image takes in Buncrana Bay, the stone jug at the entrance to the magical Swan Park, the castle bridge, Buncrana castle, the Connaberry walk and all the way to Ned's Point.

From the Amazing Grace viewing point at the shore greens in Buncrana, Inishowen, County Donegal. I may be a wee bit biased but I do think Buncrana and the other towns on the Inishowen Pen*sula are some of the greatest wee towns on the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland. Our friendly people, our thriving diverse community, some of the best value shops, restaurants, hotels, pubs and tourist attractions in the whole of the land are all a stones throw or a wee bus journey / drive.

This woman's name is Marie. I met her for the first time ever half an hour ago in McKenna's deli in the Londis store as you go into Buncrana.
I fancied a sausage sandwich and a cup of tea but it was, I was initially told, a bit late for doing that.
Maybe she took pity on me, no idea, but she gave me a big smile and said go in there and take a seat in the restaurant area and I'll bring it in to you.
Five minutes later she was in with a big pot of tea, the sausage sambo and even threw in a few chips on the side - real chips with a real spuddy taste like you used to get in the 'Famous Donegal Chipper' in Donegal town back in the day.
I was charged just €3.75 for the food, so two things to think about here:
Not everywhere is expensive, a rip off and people like Marie are a big part of the reason why this is a great county, from Ballyshannon to Buncrana and beyond.
Thank you Marie, people like you deserve a shout out.
Not sure too many people in Buncrana will read this, if any of you have connections or friends in Buncrana, please share this as she deserves a salute.
