Apple Pressing, and Isobel's 30th in Blackrock, Dublin, Ireland - 2nd November 2007

It's Isobel's 30th birthday. The big thrash was back in August at Bromestock 3, but this is a chance to head back to Blackrock to have a bit of a do with family and friends at Tonic - firstly for some food, and secondly for some Guinness and Mojitos. The day after, we head over to Killiney and Dalkey for a bit of a wander, and get to see one of the locations used in the film "Once".
