Back from a long weekend in Dublin. Packed a lot in and loved almost all of it. Realise I don’t know nearly enough about the history of Ireland especially after visiting this place.

This row is diagonally opposite The Old Cannon in Bury St Edmunds. Nearest us has great ghostsigns whilst at the far end is Suffolk’s only Michelin starred restaurant Pea Porridge. It was closed Sunday lunchtime sadly as their lunchtime set menu looks excellent and great value.
