Life on the Avenue

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!

Garden visits!

Today I visited gardens in Rathmines!

It was part of the "Rathmines Open Gardens" which is held to raise money for different charities and this year is for Harold's Cross Hospice.

The last time I did these garden tours was probably about 5 years ago and the weather was glorious. Today the weather was not so glorious and I got caught in the rain while visiting the gardens. I planned to visit three gardens but in the end I just went to two.

They were two beautiful gardens and in the second the host had laid on the most beautiful cake and tea spread with bone china tea cups and saucers. So beautiful. The first garden had a great view of the Rathmines dome which was certainly an interesting sight.

Here's pics that I took in both of the gardens. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed visiting them!
