Blackrock and Dublin, Ireland - 24th September 2007
Following a road-trip across England and Wales, and beyond to the west coast of Ireland in Kilkee, we had back to Iz's home-town of Blackrock - a suburb of Dublin. Iz gets time to play with Oscar the dog, and we have a good wander around Dublin for the day, before Nosher flies back to Norwich (whilst Iz remains in Dublin for the remainder of the week).
