My Reward
We all reward ourselves in some way after getting through a tough time or a bad day....this is my go to reward !!!
Throwback
This is not a recent photo just a beloved one from a trip a few years ago to #nyc . I just love that color pop of red on a cold and wintry December day in #centralpark
St Mary’s Abbey...revamped three times then abandoned
Different kings built and rebuilt on this site in 1042, 1235 and then the late 1300s. By 1630 it seems the Irish congregation moved churches for some reason and St Mary’s was left to disintegrate into ruins. It is perched on a hill behind the main seafront road of Howth with an amazing sea view.

Question
I could not decide if this building in Howth, Ireland was something to do with Audi or with the Olympic Games or maybe I had lost a few months and it was the fifth day of Christmas.

The Butcher
I learned something new today after seeing this shop sign. In Ireland, the term Victualler means butcher.

Albatross sized seagulls squawk and screech from the early hours here in Balbriggan...luckily I love their sound and I am awake before them with my usual and endless jetlag induced insomnia.
Life’s a Beach
Balbriggan has a sweet sandy cove with a yellow and red shipping container, housing the lifesaver and coastguard, plonked in the middle. It’s a little bit of a garish blot on the beach scape, to be honest. The flat grey waters, without a white cap in sight, lap at the not so golden sands. But it’s still a great beach as it’s wide sands are clean and the calm shallows are great for kids dabbling and paddling. I have watched loads of dogs having a fantastic time galloping along the waters edge. I have enjoyed being here and using my time to get my jetlag under control. The locals are the friendliest and most helpful people. Luckily I have another day on the island of Ireland.
The Dublin Spire
This skinny silver ‘pole’ is 120 meters high and quite an engineering feat. It consists of eight hollow stainless steel cones which were installed in segments. The location is the main city street, O’Connell Street and in the heart of a bustling shopping precinct. As can be imagined it caused town planning headaches and environmental debates, hugely delaying construction. You certainly can’t miss it !
