Cork Girl heads home (Day 70)

I very nearly headed off to bed without doing today’s scribble, I completely forgot! Given it’s now 11.40 pm, forgive me but I’m not going to write much.  I didn’t leave Dublin til 7 pm and with going out last night and walking all around the city today I’m really tired. I’m sure I’ll have […]

Cork Girl goes to Dublin (Day 69)

It’s weird the moods we can get into. I’m up in Dublin; I love big cities, I’m quite fond of the Irish capital and yet right now, I would give anything to be home in Cork. I’m lonely and homesick and every little thing that goes wrong makes me want to curl up in a […]

The Dublin Joie-de-Vivre (Day 20)

It’s been a long looooong day and I am totally and utterly pooped. We walked our little feet off for six hours in the concrete jungle of Dublin city. In the pouring rain. With a crappy little umbrella that blew apart after five minutes (and there wasn’t even any wind!). 3FE was our first port […]
