Hola,
Had the chance to recently walk around Dublin for a day, and what a great city it really is -- especially around Christmastime.
And there's still some old parts off the beaten touristy tracks that bring some some wonderful, personal memories.
 |
| Don't know why my eye was caught with the square inscription, but it was... Why is it so high up there, I wondered? |
 |
| Like something out of War of the Worlds, the new Children's Hospital is under construction |
 |
| The other special relationship remains strong! |
 |
| The General Post Office on O'Connell Street. |
 |
| The Mansion House |
 |
| Christchurch Cathedral |
 |
| The Coombe Hospital where I was born, (ah, God love 'im) |
 |
| Used to buy and get me bikes repaired here |
 |
| The back of my old school, which is still open, apparently more so on this day! |
 |
| Ah yes, the square quote... now I have to find out where it comes from!! |

Thank you so much for taking us on this romp down memory lane.
Hi Mark - so glad you had time at home ... and to see Dublin in various guises. The square plaque ... memoir of the 1940s ... All the best for 2020 - cheers Hilary
Glad you got to spend Christmas there. Looks festive!
Christmas at home is always a good thing to enjoy. Seemed to be a lot of emphasis on the pub, and Guiness!!
Guinness in a tanker truck, not something you see over here everyday
I love your travelogues- pictures of the real place, not the tourist place. Now, I do have a couple of things: Second and less important, "Lost balloon"? First though, I couldn't help but notice that the only crowd in any of the shots was around Victoria's Secret...
Here from the IWSG and am I glad. I LOVE your photos. Wish I could walk around Dublin!!!

What happened to your Words for Wednesday post? It popped up in my reader and I got all excited to see what you had done with your own very challenging prompts. Consider a pouty face being levelled in your direction.
@EC: Lol!! Don't be pouty :) I've decided that the gentlemanly thing to do is *not* participate in WfW when I'm the one posting. I don't want to have an advantage over anyone else - even if I can't remember the damn words!!
See, this post is a great example of why I would miss your photos if you stopped posting them. Just wanted you to know! :)
