Victorian Dun Laoghaire

what I miss about home is... Victorian Dun Laoghaire...

This is the view from the promenade that leads up to the East or Bandstand Pier. Many a time my Aunt used to take me and my brother here to catch crabs and shrimps and marvel at the mail boat coming in and going out. We would look across the bay to Howth... down the coast to Bray.

Is it just me or have these places changed? A different type of people congregate here now.

Once again I am reminded of Marietta biscuits and orange lemonade...

Dun Laoghaire Victorian Shelters

What I miss about home is... the Victorian carriage shelters along the promenade next to the East Pier. They have now been refurbished to something of their former glory, but are kept shut, locked, never to be used again. Shame.
