Digital Secrets in the Shadows
Against a wall adorned with white arrows, a young woman with foxy red hair leans motionless, her face illuminated by the eerie glow of her phone. As shadows creep in from the corners of the scene, she remains lost in her digital world, completely engrossed in the screen. The bright red woolly hat atop her…
The Beatlebums in Coughlans
Last Friday night, my wife and I had the pleasure of attending a Beatles tribute band called The Beatlebums at Coughlans Bar on Douglas Street.

Training on a bike
A training bike is a great way to get kids used to cycling. In a busy city like Dublin, it’s probably best they don’t go on to the car filled roads too soon.
William Tell, on your phone
Outside the Gaiety on an October afternoon checking the phone. I heard William Tell was quite good!
Umbrellas Out!
On Grafton Street, Dublin. Yes, it’s raining. Get the umbrella out!
