Guinness
Guinness Guinness, world famous stout brewed in Dublin, Ireland. It’s also the tipple every tourist to the country samples but I prefer beer myself! 🙂 This is a sign on a pub on Bridge Street. It’s the one on the corner near Vibes and Scribes. What’s it called?
On dad’s shoulders

Strolling on the Grand Parade
Strolling on the Grand Parade If that couple were to walk along the Grand Parade now they’d be in the middle of a busy street but back in August last year it was still a building site. Wondering what Cork looked like over 20 years ago? Take a look at these photos!
Running along Grand Parade
