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. … Continue reading Donadea – On our little forestoteraphy
Dublin
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 … Continue reading Walk from Greystones to Bray
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 … Continue reading Castletown House
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 … Continue reading A little bit of winter in Ireland
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 … Continue reading Killruddery House & Gardens
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, … Continue reading Howth – a perfect day out
Mount Usher Gardens
Ireland is full of beautiful, quiet places where I love coming back. Mount Usher Gardens is one of them. But it's really hard for me to try to describe why is it so amazing, as I keep being awed by almost every garden I visit. I hope photos will describe it better than my words. … Continue reading Mount Usher Gardens
Lesser-known places in Dublin – Glasnevin Cemetery
I don't how about you, but I like cemeteries. I've lived next to a third largest cemetery in Europe, when I lived in Szczecin. It is beautiful, there are areas where you feel like you are in a park or woods rather than in a cemetery. If you ever visit Szczecin, it is definitely worth visiting. Glasnevin … Continue reading Lesser-known places in Dublin – Glasnevin Cemetery

This Saturday Kirstin with Brid invited us over for lunch and trip to Honest2Goodness market (H2G). Bloggers sharing delicious pizza Irish Food Bloggers Association (IFBA) is such a great invention. Kirstin and Caroline did such a great job setting it up.

Campo Viejo Tapas Trail
What kind of person are you? Do you like eating out? Visiting new places, trying new dishes? Well I must admit I am eat-at-home-eater. Don't get me wrong, I love trying new food and visiting new places, but I grew up in small town and you would go to a restaurant only for big celebrations. … Continue reading Campo Viejo Tapas Trail
