Blackrock and Dublin, Ireland - 24th September 2007

Following a road trip across England and Wales and beyond to the west coast of Ireland in Kilkee, we had back to Isobel's home town of Blackrock in Dublin County. Isobel gets time to play with Oscar the dog, and we have a good wander around Dublin for the day before Nosher flies back to Norwich, as Isobel remains in Dublin for the remainder of the week. Whilst in Dublin, we wander around the park and come across a photo shoot possibly involving the model Katy French, who died just over two months later.
