Day-Trip to Dalkey

My husband and I gave up flying in December 2015, after reading David McKay's 'Sustainability Without the Hot Air'. It felt like a really dreary decision to make, but we figured we'd just try it out and see how it went. (It's actually gone surprisingly well!) In 2016, we spent our annual week-long holiday at home in Dublin. I kept a cartoon diary. This is from the 25th September, a very rainy day when we went to Dalkey.
Bus to Sandymount - Sandymount Dart Station - Two very old ladies with lovely hair like cobwebs - Lovely view from Dart (this is the train that goes along the east coast of Ireland)

Dalkey - Indian food at Jaipur
On Bullock Bay / Zuni-breath* Bay (fishy) [*Zuni is our dog] - Very cute collie that wanted us to throw a dried flower for him - Bollard & Silvery Sea - Walk to Dalkey [this should read Dun Laoghaire] - Signs everywhere saying 'No Dogs'. also everywhere: Dogs.
Dalkey market [this should read Dun Laoghaire market]. Three women dressed as air hostesses singing (very well).
Sake & the film 'Gaslight'.
