So I’m now living in Dublin. I decided this bank holiday Monday gone by I should go and see something new up here.  I’ve visted the Museum as it’s only around the corner from me in Stoneybatter. Seeing as I had the car (shall post about that later)  I thought I’d visit somewhere new and differnt. Asking for suggestions on twitter I got a helpful suggestion from @eske that I should look at going to see Famrleigh Park.

I got there and was amazed at the space and the packed crowds there just relaxing in the sun and it was really nice to see this in Ireland. I guess I take it for granted when I travel and go see these places and pay to get it.  Farmleigh is free entry as it is owned by the state.

There is a small short tour (again free) as this house was previous owned by the Guinness Family it takes you through their history and what they did with the house. The grounds are well kept but loads of green space so if you wanted to have a picnic you could, they even put out loads of fold up chairs so folks can sit around and I’m told they often have outdoor concerts.

On a Sunday there is a famers market there which I will have to go back and compare it to the Limerick markt I go to on a Saturday when I’m home. All pics of day are here. Be warned there are lots of flowers as trying to play with my camera and functions and also keep my mother happy with photos not of me sticking my tongue out at people!
