Dublin June 2012

Coming into Dublin Port, with Sandymount Towers in the background & Poolbeg lighthouse in the foreground.  Used to walk the dogs on the beach to the left for 10 years!


The new theatre at Grand Canal Quay, very impressive, the area is like something out of London.


The new Lansdowne Road rugby stadium

Trinity College

Statue of Molly Malone

Grafton Street
50th book club meeting
Inside Borris Castle, we got thrown out!  Didn't realise it wasn't open to the public & we happily wandered in & into their kitchen looking for a coffee, only to be told it was for writers only!
Borris Castle, where Hay on Wye Literary Festival was being held in Ireland for the 1st time ever.  We saw 1 brilliant talk by Ann Enwright & 1 not so good one.

Me, Olga & Sheila beside the Borris

View from the house we were staying at
Nicholas Mosse 2nd's shop in Bennettsbridge, oh I wish I'd bought something, was too mean, thinking it wasn't cheap enough, but am regretting it now!

On the way home, towers & ferry!
