Monday, November 28th, 2011switching on the Christmas lights in Cork City
Friday, November 25th, 2011We went out to the switch on of the Christmas lights this evening.
There was a good crowd on Patrick St. for the switch on.
Then Rudolph led us all to Emmet place for some carol singing and the switch on of the lights on the Christmas tree.
The Christmas Market on the Grand Parade was in full swing, with some lovely carol singing down by the river.
The English Market was a hive of activity, with most of the stalls open for business. I counted at least four musical acts, from trad to choirs.
We stopped off for nibbles at a couple of stalls, including some fish & chips at O’Connells.
The crowd waiting for the park to open was huge – with queues down Tuckey street and back up to the Grand Parade.
I think it was a brilliant job by all involved – entertainment for everyone, all over the city centre.
limited edition Shandon Century Extra Stout
Thursday, October 20th, 2011I treated myself tonight to a couple of bottles of limited edition Shandon Century Extra Stout from the Franciscan Well Brewery in Cork City. Limited to a run of 1000 bottles (I got 197 and 199) you can get it in the Franciscan Well and in Bradleys on North Main St. Don’t leave it too long though, I expect it to be popular.

occupy cork protesters camping out
Sunday, October 16th, 2011it’s a beautiful morning in Cork – and Cork is occupied!
I feel as though I should point out signs about fighting the power and taking ‘it’ back from the rich, by co-ordinating on Facebook while drinking Coke, but I won’t.

culture night at the English Market
Saturday, September 24th, 2011We called to the English Market for Culture Night. It was open late, from 6-9pm and we arrived much later than intended, at around 8.
There was a great crowd as we entered from the Grand Parade.
We headed in, and went to Bubble Brothers to get a glass of wine. They were really busy, with Paul and Austin handing nice glasses of wine. People were arriving with food from all over the market for a drink. I saw one lady arrive with oysters!
After a drink we wandered farther into the Market, stopping at the chocolate shop for some hot chocolate. They were giving proceeds from the night to charity.
We wandered on around the market, listened to some music, had some more food and then left as the market was closing. It’s a briliant night, and
I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks they should do it way more often 
no they don’t love you any more!

cannonball run cars at the port of cork
Friday, September 9th, 2011I went down to the Port of Cork at Custom house quay to see the cannonball run cars arrive.
Lots of amazing cars and you can get up close for a look.
Lots of people were checking the tax discs to see how much the owners pay each year
lots more photos on my flickr.
