We called into Murphy’s Ice Cream in Dingle this morning. I bought a chocolate and mint ice cream mix. If you’re in the town you really should call in for a scoop or two! Yum! The business is run by brothers Sean and Kieran who I had hoped would be there but unfortunately they were [...]

The tree branches [...]

Nearby is a statue of Isis and a plague underneath saying: A GIFT FROM THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT “ISIS” TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND — PRESENTED BY THE AMBASSADOR OF EGYPT H.E. HUSSEIN MESHARAFA 10TH [...]
