I shared some photos of Gorey, our current abode, in this post.
Since then we've done two trips to the seaside, two to Dublin, and two to Enniscorthy. But our mainstay has still been Gorey, and we've grown very fond of it.
Highlights:
Cool murals
Changing seasons
A rather lovely local photo exhibition
Gorey streets
Christ Church Old School, a very handsome building
Yet another fine eatery: The Book Cafe
Thursday evening at French's. The small and homely bar area is full to the scuppers with locals enjoying a drink (mostly Guinness) and real-deal traditional music. Five players: Guitar, flute, concertina, tin whistle, and bodhran. Brilliant
The interior of Christ Church, famous for the 1920s windows designed by Harry Clarke (1889-1931) and his studio associates
This one, by Catherine O'Brien, is from the 1950s
Tomorrow will be cleaning and jobs day. And on Sunday we leave. Not without regret. We've loved Gorey, and very much hope to return one day.
