Hi Guys,

So I realise I haven't been keeping this blog very well have I?

The Summer is well and truly upon us here in Dublin, its been a great couple of weeks for us weather-wise. All the sheep are shorn and the hay is in and saved! They all look a little funny at first, but really its just like them getting a crew cut haircut. Keeps them nice and cool in the warm summer months :) The record for schearing a sheep now stands at 17 SECONDS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K30NnL1eLLs

We have spent the last few weeks re-designing and collecting info for our website http://www.dublincottages.com/! We hope you enjoy it as much as we have designing it :)

Greenday played Marlay Park last week and it was a great show with fireworks and great weather!

All The Best From Dublin,
Valerie

Dublin and Music

2010-01-28T07:59:00.000-08:00

Hi,

So today I got thinking about Music in Dublin and really there are so many great venues! The Closest to Dublin Cottages is Marlay Park in Rathfarnham. Generally they hold Rock Concerts this year Greenday are coming and last year DJ Fat Boy Slim played too. Many of our guests here at Tibradden have enjoyed the Concerts at Marlay over the years.

Another great venue is the O2 in Dublin (formerly The Point Depot). There are some great concerts coming up including Lady GaGa, JLS, 50 Cent, Rod Stewart, Rihanna and Cirque du Soleil.

There are other great venues such as The Village and The National Concert Hall.

There are also many other venues for Comedy and Theatre but that's for another post I think!

Shopping in Dublin

2010-01-26T10:01:00.000-08:00

A lovely January Day! Popped into Town, in Dublin we call the City Centre town! Got the bus in and the Luas home. Found great bargains in Arnotts Department Store in Henry St, their January sale is amazing! Pat in the Sports Dept is a fountain of knowledge! When you shop in Henry St Dublin you see the real heart of Dublin.

Then out into O' Connell St and over the River Liffey, past Trinity College to Grafton St and a real treat..Afternoon Tea in Avoca Handweavers in Suffolk St. Then headed to Dundrum Town Centre to see a movie

Talk Soon

January...

2010 kicked off in Tibradden with a beautiful Snowfall! Spring is starting to arrive now and before we know it we will have the lambing and calving starting. We have already had our first lamb of the season-still unnamed as of yet- on January 15th. He is a purebred Suffolk Lamb. The lambing will start in earnest around St. Patrick's Day

The Snowdrops and Daffodils are starting to arrive too...

We are now in the thick of the Rugby Season, and Cian's Senior Cup Rugby Team will be facing St. Gerard's in Bray in a few weeks' time; and the girls will be out jumping the ponies soon too...

We love Spring here at Tibradden...
