Ironworks
I love to see plants peeping though iron gates and railings. It softens the look of the ironworks and beautifies the area.
Here are some pictures of some railings that I saw today in the Dublin 6 region.
It was a lovely sunny day - don't the flowers look pretty?

Pulled pork
Here is how I made a Pulled Pork Sandwich.
1. Popped a loin of pork in to the slow cooker for 4 hrs.
2. After this time smoother the meat in BBQ sauce.
3. Cook on low for 8 hours more.
4. Shred in a bowl and add more BBQ sauce.
5. Pop into a bread roll and voila!

The Hopsack
This is The Hopsack in the Swan Centre in Rathmines (in Dublin). It's a really great health store that sells a full range of health food, organic food, natural cosmetics and even chemical free cleaning products.
We browsed around for a few minutes but only bought some refreshing Chi Coconut Water (this was the first time I saw this brand) - but I think they also sold Vita Coconut Water and maybe also Zico Coconut Water. Pineapple Vita Coconut Water is my facourite.
I will go back later during the week to get some natural laundry washing powder and maybe a bar of organic chocolate!
There is so much to see in this store, they have a huge range of products. You could easily lose yourself for an hour or so.
I like the concept of Meat Free Monday! What a great start to the working week - I may try it.
If you regularly take energy gels you can make your own by adding a spoonful of Chia Seeds to a shot of Coconut Water. Leave for 10 minutes then knock it back!

Cobbler
I called to the cobbler to pick up my boots which I had left in to get new soles and heeled. He did such a good job - they are like new!!
I don't generally get my shoes reheeled or resoled but I really like these boots and I was not in the mood to shop for a new pair so it was just easier to get them fixed up. In total, it cost 30 euro.

Pretzel heaven
I have been looking at these pretzels in Superquinn for a few weeks and I decided to buy them last night.
I think they are fairly new to the Irish market and I have not seen them for sale anywhere else. They are made by Snyders of Hanover in Pennsylvania, USA.
They had a few different flavours - I saw Buffalo and some other spicy flavour. I chose the Honey Mustard.
Wow! I loved them. They tasted unlike anything I have tasted before. So delicious and very moreish.
They tasted so good and so unique.
As you can see they have been making pretzels sinch 1909 - how great is that!! You can even visit their bakery if you are in the Hanover area - I have friends who live in Pennsylvania so I will see how close they live to here and whether they have ever visited the Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Bakery!
I wonder if they will be bringing chocolate covered pretzels to Ireland??? I'd love that!

Egg-cellent!
It's Saturday morning of the Bank Holiday Weekend. We went for a swim at 8am and now we are in the Fumbally for eggs.
We have sneaked Bones in and he is sitting under the table on a little shelf. He keeps sticking his head out when the waiter walks by with food.
I don't understand why dogs are generally not allowed in to cafes - once we were even asked to leave the outside area of a cafe because we had the dog!!! What are your thoughts on dogs in shops and cafes?
