Summer in Ireland

I know what you think...you think this will be a rant about the oh so cold summers in Ireland with days and days of rain and if you get lucky maybe a half day where you are able to wear your sandals. Well think again! Summer has arrived in all it's glory and it looks like surprisingly enough it's here to stay.

When you walk down Grafton street these days you will see smiling people in beautiful (and less beautiful) airy summer outfits. People will stop for a coffee (or a pint) after work on some terrace or they will just sit in a park and enjoy endless picnics.


Last weekend saw the gay pride parade in glorious sunshine; great costumes, interesting characters and lots of happy faces (and funnily enough dogs).

The previous weekend I went to the street performance championship in Dublin. The weather was almost great and the acts from all around the world were rather good. You can find a lot of funny pictures on this photo blog.
