Enjoyable visit last weekend to Ireland to watch one of the family run in the Dublin Marathon. It’s a long time since I’ve been to the Emerald Isle and, despite the rain, it was a highly enjoyable weekend.
First of all, our runner did it in style (3 hours 43minutes) raising lots of money for charity in the process.
Secondly, it was a good opportunity to see parts of Dublin that we’d probably never normally visit, including some of its beautiful Georgian streets.
Finally, I just love the old post boxes, painted green but still in some cases bearing Edward VII’s crest. They sort of capture the history of the city.
