Amsterdam froze over



I found this photo today amongst the millions that we took on one of our food adventures...we went to Amsterdam in February and it was damn freezing. The first evening we were there we came accross a few frozen over canals and followed these guys down onto the ice for a skate around. The locals were extatic, running down from their apartments when they saw us on the ice. They told us that it hadnt happened in 12 years. The next day the ice melted.

Lucky us

Whirly Gurdy Gurdy Gurdy

Introducing....DublinArtsFest

This is the start of something big. Dublin Arts Festival, the brainchild of those great folk at EarDrumBuzz is gonna be rolling out the red carpet for the first time on Sun August 23rd on meeting house square in Temple Bar. Free in during the day for the family event - music, circus, face painting, food followed by THE WHIRLY GIG - dj Cheeba, Photosonic Orchestra, Noise Control, The Amazing Few, Botheads, Mandolin Man, Robotnik.
Great to see the square being put to good use. That stage doesnt get used nearly half as much as it should. We'll be there serving up the nosh along with The Queens Of Neon, Hicks, Cake Cafe and The Winding Stair(looking forward to that!)
A proper party for Dublin in Temple Bar.
