title A Trip to Noddy's, and Dublin City Centre, Wicklow and Dublin, Ireland - 16th August 2021 intro We head out to somewhere near Blessington in the Wicklow Mountains for lunch with Noddy, Jilly and the donkeys. Then, the next day, we're off to do the Guinness Storehouse tour, but before we get there there's a long walk from just into the Northside of the city, over the Liffy, past the cathedrals and down Thomas Street. imgp9044 Fred and Harry in the garden at Noddy's imgp9045 We explore the sheds imgp9046 The boys look for the cat that was spotted imgp9048 A great collection of randomness imgp9050 The boys meet the donkeys imgp9053 Donkey Oatey imgp9055 Fred gives Zeus a scratch imgp9056 Noddy gives a donkey a hug imgp9058 Fred has a go with the donkey hugging imgp9059 A view over the Wicklow mountains imgp9063 A donkey follows us back to the house imgp9067 The donkeys are back in the yard imgp9069 Noddy prepares lunch as Louise roams around imgp9072 A donkey sticks its head in the door imgp9073 The donkey comes into the kitchen imgp9077 Isobel plays a bit of fiddle imgp9080 The cat sits in the shed, aloof from it all imgp9083 A derelict cottage or shed imgp9084 A dog and donkeys imgp9086 Da Wheeze has got a fag on imgp9087 The moss bog imgp9090 Harry's found a deer skull on a stick imgp9094 The donkey is back at the door imgp9099 Another donkey visit imgp9113 The dog pants after chasing a ball for hours imgp9114 Harry stands on a small hill imgp9123 A glass of wine in the field imgp9129 We head of from Da Gorls to catch a bus imgp9130 The upstairs of the bus is deserted imgp9132 The view along Frascati Road in Blackrock imgp9134 Pearse Street station from the top of the bus imgp9135 Painted building near Pearse Street imgp9138 The gang look up at the massive steel point imgp9139 The 120-metre-high Monument of Light, or spike imgp9141 The back of Funland, on Henry Place imgp9143 The Moore Street market imgp9147 A shop with foliage growing out of it imgp9148 Arnotts on Henry Street imgp9149 A derelict Debenhams imgp9151 Plastic overs the old Debenhams logo imgp9152 The boys look to buy more stuff imgp9154 Fred's found something to buy imgp9155 Smiley Meatball Pip, apparently imgp9156 Fred looks at pens imgp9157 Banba Toymaster on Mary Street imgp9158 Fred waves to the Staypuft Marshmallow man imgp9160 Collected gravestones on Jarvis Street imgp9161 Fred on Jarvis Street imgp9163 Looking up Strand Street Great imgp9164 At the end of Swift's Row imgp9165 Walking along Bachelors Walk imgp9166 The Ha'penny Bridge over the Liffey imgp9168 Harry hangs over the Millenium Bridge imgp9170 Walk on the cobbles of Temple Bar imgp9171 Some dude washes windows with a very long sponge imgp9172 We get pizza in Huey Morgan's place imgp9173 Fred stands on a stool at DiFontaine's pizza imgp9175 A pile of pizzas imgp9178 DiFontaine's - a New York Joint imgp9180 A cyclist with a trailer of bikes goes by imgp9183 Gardai action on Capel Street imgp9187 The Porterhouse on Parliament Street imgp9188 Graffiti and wall art in Temple Bar imgp9189 Derelict buildings imgp9190 Dame House, on Dame Street imgp9191 The legendary Foggy Dew, as in Fontaines DC imgp9193 Painted shops on Fownes Street Upper imgp9195 Big silver tags imgp9197 Dublin Castle imgp9198 Part of a memorial name wall imgp9200 The boys look at coins in a water feature imgp9202 Brightly-painted buildings near Dublin Castle imgp9203 Nothing to see here in a derelict yard imgp9204 Zine graffiti imgp9205 Some sort of rubbish tip imgp9207 Graffiti on the Lord Edward imgp9208 A painted choir on a traffic light control box imgp9209 Religious artwork in the cathedral imgp9210 Old tiles on the floor imgp9211 Modern stained glass Jesus imgp9213 The nave of St Patrick's Cathedral imgp9214 Down in the crypt imgp9215 The mumified cat and mouse from the organ pipes imgp9217 The boys poke a statue on a bench imgp9218 We hang around for a bit imgp9219 St. Patrick's in Dublin imgp9220 The arch of Christ Church Cathedral imgp9221 An old-school street lantern imgp9227 Fred plays xylophone in St. Audeon's Park imgp9228 By the mediaeval wall at St. Audeon's imgp9231 A traditional figure imgp9232 A memorial to children killed in the Easter Rising imgp9233 Caffé Noto on Francis Street imgp9234 Painted signal box on Thomas Street imgp9235 A toilet-roll pop-up market on Thomas Street imgp9236 There derelict-looking Carpet Mills imgp9237 A whole tree is growing out of a shop on Meath Street
