      Dublin pubs

      August 31 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      “An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of grass and never fall off the earth.”
      Pubs of Ireland. There are literally hundreds of them dotted around the city centre of Dublin and they continue to play a remarkable role in this country’s history, economy and culture. Revolutions, protests , great plays, novels, poetry, music and songs have been created in them and they are famous and iconic in what was once a traditionally conservative country! The unique atmosphere of these pubs has I’m sure brought Ireland the illustrious accolade of the ‘ world’s most famous drinking city’. Some of these pubs date back centuries and you cannot help but be captivated by their beautiful interiors, ornate woodwork, fancy mirrors, polished brass and Victorian splendour. More than their mesmerising architecture and decor is the witty, lilting, humorous conversations which abound in these gorgeous establishments. Everyone has a story to tell, and a song to sing. You could spend weeks here and not get to every one. If you are into pub crawls then Dublin City could be your life’s work. I’m not joking when I say there is a pub on every corner! Literally there is.Read more

      Icons of Ireland

      September 1 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      “ Like George Bernard Shaw most of the great men and women of the Irish renaissance had to leave Ireland to prove their greatness but at least they were born there. They breathed from infancy it's strange air of realism and mysticism, it's dignity with poverty, it's love of scholarship, it's wit as distinguished from gaiety and never got it quite out of their systems."
      This walk through a gallery of Irish icons in the city of Dublin was painted by a number of artists, living here in Dublin, and allowed me to sample some of this awe inspiring culture. From the well known Irish writers to the little known female writers, iconic artists, musicians, sportsmen, odd balls, revolutionaries and geniuses. It’s the perfect way to explore the cobblestone streets and alleyways and learn about those who lived, played and worked here.
