Lunch could be
Wild Mushroom Bruschetta in a friendly cafe;

and how about an afternoon in the National Gallery,
among Irish heroes,

But that is what we did.

It looks truly splendid. We've never been to Dublin; if and when we do, I shall know who to ask for tourist advice!
Hope you had a wonderful trip.
Bizarrely as I checked bloglines a Magpie began to sing in the back garden. And there was your updated blog!
I love that photo of the magnolias - all soft pinks and greys (on my screen anyway).
But all the photos would seem to indicate a good time was had by both of you!
Thank you for bringing me.
Lovely! And not at all how I imagined Dublin to be - although I'm not sure how exactly I did imagine it to be.
How absolutley delightful. I wish I could be there. My Brother in Law is in Bublin right now, for the first time ever, for a 2 night business meeting. I could not beleive he flew all that way from Australia without planning some down time.
It looks gorgeous.
Sounds like a lovely time was had by both --- hope that it was a really lovely birthday celebration:-)
N.
A very good choice for lunch!
It looks like a peaceful way to spend a birthday getaway.
I'm with Fairlie - you found more tranquility in Dublin than I would have expected.
Indeed, thanks for sharing. I have never been to Ireland. It is on the BIG LIST.
What a lovely tour, thank you. I've never been, but it looks wonderful.
looks like you had a great time, thanks for taking lots of photos for us.
