Blackrock Mornings, Dublin County, Ireland - 29th October 2006

After the wedding in County Clare, and the discovery of Father Ted's house near the village of Killnaboy, we drive back to Dublin, dropping Gary and Vanessa off in Limerick on the way. The following day starts with one of those rare moments when you wake up and genuinely have forgotten about the whole clocks-going-back thing for a while, so armed with a whole newly-discovered extra hour, decide to have a spot of breakfast at the Java Café in Blackrock, before Nosher heads back to Dublin airport for the flight back home.
