Lock 6 Coffee (near the Barge Pub)

Saturday started as such a nice sunny bright day.  We walked to Lock 6 near the canal for our morning coffee.  It's only about 10 minutes away from our house and for someone reason we had never thought to go here even though it is so close - I guess we always stopped at Nick's coffee and got no further!

When we ordered our coffee the barista very kindly offered double shots which I was very glad of as it was my first coffee of the day.

Bones enjoyed exploring the new area.  The yard area outside is nicely landscaped but it seemed that there are no seats inside.  Lucky for us the sun was shining so we were glad to be outside - but honestly how often is it raining in Ireland?!
Ciaran got a pulled pork sandwich.  I ate his lemon cous cous which was very nice.

Look at that lovely sun in the sky (it din't last long - there was a rain weather warning by lunchtime from Met Eireann!)

This plaque was on the wall of Lock 6.  It relates to Thomas Grubb who it seems was the founder of Grubb Telescope Company.
