Go North!

Around a month ago we finally went North. Well we've been to Belfast and Mourne Mountains before, but by North I mean Norther Ireland further than Belfast. It was on our list forever, but you know how it goes. There are so many places to see and people to meet. So why should you visit Northern Ireland Giant's …

Donadea – On our little forestoteraphy

Monday to Friday I live in boxes. A box called an office, a box called a car and a box called our apartment, that I truly love, but it's still a box. The walls, artificial light, computer screens, air condition, etc. This feeling is always stronger during the winter when there is not enough opportunities to go out. …

Kerry is beautiful even in the fog

Travelling around Ireland is always risky business. The weather is unpredictable, especially in late autumn and winter. We once travel along the coast and couldn't see the sea. When we visited Kerry in November and we were blessed with one day of gorgeous weather, the rest was well... good enough. What you can see on the first image, should …

Walk from Greystones to Bray

  I always think about big cities as concrete jungle, where it's hard to find nature, but luckily Dublin has for abundance of places where you can walk and it's wild enough to have a feeling being away from the city. We walked multiple times from Greystones to Bray (you can go the other way round …

Castletown House

We can't sit still. It's been over 3 years and there are so many places in Ireland that we haven't seen. We visited Castletown House when Tomek's family visited us in June. I've heard about it through Facebook, as a coworker's family lives nearby and they often go for a walk there. So when we were looking …

A little bit of winter in Ireland

When I asked you to postpone New Year's resolution, I was only teasing you, because I had a really good cake recipe I wanted to share. As mentioned before I'm no good with resolutions at all, but I do try working on bits every now and then. Lately I decided that we need to go back …

Ross Castle and Muckross walk

When Tomek suggested a trip to Kerry in October I wasn't too eager to go. We've been out so much this year, I really dreamt about staying home for a weekend or two. But Kerry was on our list for a long time and it's not easy to find a free long weekend, so despite my laziness …

Avondale House and Forest Park

It's easier to write about things and places that just happened. I know it's risky, it may mean that I will never write about other places that wait in my queue, but at least a few won't disappear in my computer archive. So this Saturday we had another wonderful day. Yes, it rained on Friday, but …

Killruddery House & Gardens

Ireland always amaze me when it where it comes to places you can visit over the weekend. Over and over we explore new places and every one has been great. Usually it starts with a house, in this case with Killruddery House, that is just outside of Dublin, you can get there from Bray. Last year my …

Howth – a perfect day out

I love sea and I love walks, that's why I love Dublin's location. Whenever sun shines during the weekend we try to run away from our apartment. I always feel blessed with so many options for a day out. Howth was our favourite for a long time. It isn't technically Dublin, but it's very close, …
