Dublin continued...

A beautifully bright day drew me to the coast today, I took the DART train down to Greystones and then made my way back up towards Dublin using my hop on and off ticket to stop at Bray, Killiney and Sandycove. 

I loved the name of this shop in Greystones.

Had a lovely coffee here...

 I braved the April chill with the help of the outdoor heaters and sat with a view of the sea over lunch at the Martello in Bray 

I liked this cafe in Dun Laoghaire, they have French cabaret evenings here occasionally. 


Later I returned to Dublin to meet my friend and discovered a great band in one of her favourite bars Sin'e which set us up perfectly for a night of dancing. I was enchanted my the crazily tall spire on O'Connell street which became a meeting point for myself and various friends and dozens of others meeting, greeting, hugging and planning next moves.

Day 15 and 16

Back to Edinburgh to enjoy the fringe festival... I really, really love Edinburgh...
And what are the chances of running into old friends staying with family living on the out of town street where we parked? Beautiful synchronicity made for a fantastic night of fun and exploring the twinkly lights of Edinburgh festival at night. Loved the Spiegeltent. We watched Mitch Benn and Ben Howard then set of on a night time drive back towards the South West...

Day 11

Arrived in Edinburgh ready for our gig at The Village in Leith, lovely twinkly lights, antique chairs and gorgeous art and mirrors in the room, I am very excited!



The Blues Bar, Harrogate

My husband played a fab gig at the friendly Blues Bar last night. Thank you Harrogate for making us feel so welcome.

Oasis New Vintage

I love this video and the new dress collection. Even better I have found a new band too. The music is called Geeky Lover by Marble Fairy.
