Hi Sue
I know your real love is Lanzarote, but as you've a special place in your heart for Clogherhead, I though I'd post a link to photobucket from my Paddy's Day walk yesterday. We parked at the pier and walked up over the head and ended up taking more photos of handsome dogs than anything else!
Anyhow, just thought it would give you some nostaglia before you get back to Co Louth again!

There were two big seals in the water at the harbour, but the buggers wouldn't come close enough for me to get a good picture of them. At one point, I removed the zoom lens and Alan had it in his pocket. He was stopped, chatting to a guy he had met and I wandered over to another part of the harbour with the standard lens on the camera and lo and behold the biggest seal swam over really close, but not close enough without the zoom to get a good picture of him. Anyhow, the best I could get is included.
My next purchase is going to be a lens that combines the standard lens with a zoom, so I won't always have the wrong one attached when something interesting comes along!
Anyhow, I digress!
Suebh, hope I've captured something that reminds you of Clogherhead!
