The George is a pub and nightclub on South Great Georges Street and is the oldest and most well known gay establishment in Ireland and probably Europe since it first opened in 1985, a good enough persuasion for me to visit! Me, Lori and Mike went for drinks first at Fitzsimons and then a gay bar ca…

Again, the morning started quite early and we did some stuff around the house. Reading, playing, time at the computer, you know what it's like. The weather was quite nice so we decided to go for a walk to a playground we had heard about at the Clondalking Community Centre. The walk took about half …

This is just a short account of my travels back on 10 Feb '08. I know I'm so lucky to be living in this part of the world, none of these images were taken further than 15 km from my front door! A team of over 20 hearty trekkers set off from the base of the peninsula just outside the town of Du…

Seeing as how Miranda (my Seattle friend that I befriended back in Edinburgh) got an all-day bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher and other places, I was left to my own devices.  I started reading Long Way Roundon the sofa, and seeing as how I'm a fan of motorcycles and travel, I was deeply engross…

Nestling below Cashel hill overlooking Ballyness Bay, Gortahork is a small busy Gaeltacht (Irish Speaking Region) village in Northwest Donegal (in Gaeilge the town's name means The Field of Oats). There is a bronze statue of a man scything grain in the grounds of the old Tech, a bit 'wooden' a…

Upon our arrival in Limerick, our Globus bus driver, Timmy met us instead of the tour director. He said that our director wasn't able to pick us up because he was "out late the night before and had a hangover "and hence was still sleeping! At first we thought he was joking but found out l…
