National Botanic Gardens Dublin

I love heading of to the Botanic Gardens on a sunny Sunday. The restaurant is lovely for a spot of lunch.

Day out in Dublin - Farmleigh in the Phoenix Park.

 We visited Farmleigh on a sunny Sunday in November. I wanted to see the excellent Photo exhibition of the photographs of Father Browne.  The photographs are taken all around Ireland and Europe in the 20's and 30's they give a lovely view of Ireland at that time.
 It was such a sunny day we took a stroll around the grounds, they are well worth a visit, I will visit in the spring and summer next year for sure. The boathouse is a lovely restaurant on a little lake. I had a tasty chicken pie.

The beautiful walled garden.

Sculpture at Farmleigh,A UXB or an alien craft perhaps.
