I had a lovely evening with my twin sister in Rathmines. We both cycled separately and then met in Starbucks. It was very chilled out. It's all a new experience for Amy who has moved from the Northside suburbs to an amazing apartment on the Southside (the dark side!)
I tell her she is ruined!
Click here to check out her new digs.
We got samples of coffee in Starbucks - Guatemalan blend.
We were both amazed when we came out of Starbucks - it was so mild. It positively felt warm.........but it's bucketing rain now!
This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!

Rathmines/Ranelagh
A lot of people have asked about the area I live in and what it is like. I live in the village of Ranelagh which is in between Donnybrook and Rathmines. I went for a walk with the dog this morning and took some pictures of some of the stores and restaurants in Rathmines and the surrounding area.
Hope you enjoy looking at the pics!
Flower Shop on Mespill Road, Dublin 4
The old Rathmines Town Hall - now houses a college
Connollys Fish - they sell scallops! Yum!
I also like their sign on the street "Do you get it twice a week?"
Rathmines & Rathgar Musical Society (est. 1913) - in an old National School that has a girl's entrance to the left and a boy's entrance to the right.
Hope you enjoy looking at the pics!
"The Farm" Organic Restaurant in Donnybrook. Ciaran ate breakfast here the weekend that I went to Belfast, he said the food was excellent. They give you lovely purple blankets to wrap yourself in if you are cold when eating outside.

The Post Office in Rathmines, 1934
Roddy Boland Pub
Zen Chinese Restaurant

The Swan Shopping Centre (or Mall if you are from USA!)
This is possibly the tiniest shopping centre I have ever been in. It has a small 3 screen cinema, a Dunnes Stores, a Kylemore Cafe, House of Tea and a few little gift shops - and that is it!!! Well maybe it has a hairdressers and a few boutiques also.
I also found a "Fothergills" Deli up at the top of Rathmines (but I forgot to take a photo). There was one of these close to our last house and I loved to buy their home made desserts and fresh pate and hummus. I need to pay a visit there and see what lovely stock they have over this side of the city.
