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.
