It was such a fantastic weekend with the sun and heat (and sunburn!), wasn’t it, though I’m now convinced that our Summers only come in short bursts of a maximum of 4 days… Staying out in the Ballsbridge Inn – oddly the very hotel I stayed in for the 2nd Blog Awards in 2007, then [...]

In Dublin for the weekend. Drogheda Photo Walk in the morning :) If you needs me, or are lost on the way to the photo walk, get me on +353 (0)86 394 7525

Each year I look forward to Belfast’s own street performance festival: the Festival of Fools, for I have a respect for those who can gather a crowd in the street and entertain them for 30mins without too many nodding off/going about their shopping. This, the 6th Festival of Fools, “Ireland’s biggest street theatre festival,” took [...]

Saturday, still on a high from the night before (and a little hungover) I met with Kate for a short walk around Trinity until I declared my need for coffee and triple chocolate muffin (breakfast).

What an awesome night. Not to be confused with any other time I’ve used the word awesome, this was it. After the disappointment of the end of “The Show” hearing he was doing a talk in Dublin’s Science Gallery made my heard beat quite a lot faster than normal.

From my recent trip to Ballyboughal, a few miles outside Swords, Co. Dublin.

A Photo Walk will be taking place in Dublin City Centre on Saturday 11th April. Come along whether you have a small or large camera. Photo Walks are about meeting other photographers, exchanging ideas and taking photographs – sometimes getting to try out the more expensive equipment I can’t afford! We will be meeting at [...]

Guinness is an acquired taste, you either like it or you don’t. It took me a while but now I love the taste of Guinness. I look forward to the occasional pint – it isn’t something that’s planned, but usually a last minute decision and always worth it. Almost as tradition I would mostly drink [...]

Another brilliant [long] weekend in Dublin, possibly one of the best recently in terms of what I learnt and saw. Not that I learnt anything totally amazing, or saw anything truly unbelievable; its all about the little things. Starting with the St Patrick’s Day Parade; this was my first time in Dublin (or the South [...]
