Weekend fun in Dublin

With Storm Atiyah approaching on Sunday, it was good to get out and about on Saturday. After taking Bones for a walk, I got on my bike and cycled to the RDS to visit Gifted Craft Fair. 

                          

I had got two free tickets from a colleague in work and outside the venue I heard a lady with a child ask someone do you have to buy a ticket to go inside. As I was passing by, I offered her my spare one which she happily accepted.

Inside at the fair there was loads to see and I spent a good length of time browsing all of the stands.

I tasted lots of samples of cheese, chutneys and different food items including the Dream Cake by Nostimo Heavenly Food which are based in Mullingar. It was so good and could be described as mousse like but also chocolate fondant like.

                                      

Afterwards I went to Tesco to get some Cranberry sauces - I need to have 75 of them to donate to Basket Brigade next week ('m nearly there - I have 60 jars of sauce).

And later on I took Bones for another walk in the evening and looked at all of the Christmas trees, lights and wreaths on doors in my neighbourhood. What a fun thing to do!

Sunday morning was stormy so I chilled in bed with coffee and a book and a little hairy companion.

Happy December y'all!

It's been a lovely weekend. I was working on Saturday so I didn't want to go out that night. Instead we ordered Indian food from Rasoi in Ranelagh and enjoyed with a nice bottle of wine!

Hey look, I broke out the Christmas napkins and we even took a cheesy wine pic in front of the Christmas tree!

 

It's the 1st of December and it's definitely beginning to feel a lot like Christmas....it's cold and I've presents to wrap and cards to write - this job is waiting for me later today

This little face greeted me when I woke up but I didn't rush out of bed like I normally do on the weekend.

I started my Sunday off with Irish Cream flavour coffee while reading "She Said" (what a book - I'm only about 50 pages in and I am so mad and sad reading it)

Later in the day I got down to the business of writing my Christmas cards. I wrote them while watching my favourite Christmas film "The Holiday" (see here) starring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. I've got half my cards written and I don't know how many time's I've made a promise to myself that this is the last year I am writing Christmas cards!!
