It was one of those days where the rain was on and off. After a very nice meal in the Lynhams of Laragh hotel, umbrellas in hand, we took a long walk through the beautiful Wicklow Mountains National Park in Glendalough. The sun was shining for the majority of the time making for beautiful views [...]

What a silly name: Titanic Super Special Stage. Alas, it is the name given to the event which took place yesterday as part of the Circuit of Ireland Rally.

What beautiful weather we’re having right now, and what perfect way to spend it than a brisk walk along the beach and harbour of Greystones, Co. Wicklow:

Yesterday, Darren and I went to the Heroes and Legends Convention in W5 – Interactive Discovery Centre — in the Odyssey Complex. It was a well-kept secret for a few weeks that Darren would in fact get to meet Colin Baker, the sixth Doctor, and indeed turn very fanboy and starstruck when brought face-to-face. It [...]

Excited, and nervous, they walked into the salon and met Paula, who would bravely do the shearing; a small group of supporters in toe. Project Zambia supporter, Lord Mayor Niall O Donnghaile, popped round to say hi and make a [...]
