Well yes it is the same lighthouse that we pass up to 14 times a day at the South end of Lismore, much featured in previous posts, the difference is that I have a new camera, thank you Julie, Pete & Joan, and I think you can appreciate the better quality. Gorgeous weather here, but that snow is a good indication of how cold it is, real brass monkey weather. Anyone know where that expression comes from?
A brass monkey was used to hold the cannon balls on a ship. Being made of brass it could contract enough in cold weather to allow the cannon balls to roll off onto the deck. The phrase is "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey", meaning it is very cold.
