Demolition in full effect
A Day in Greystones, County Dublin, Ireland - 28th February 2010
It's Nosher's first trip flying solo with The Boy, and we're heading over to Dublin to meet up with Isobel who's been there since Wednesday night. Frankly, Nosher had been dreading it for a couple of days, but as it turned out The Boy was quite entertaining to travel with, and there's a certain amount of restoration of faith in human nature as there do always seem to be people around who'll help out someone traveling alone with a toddler. When we meet up, we head over to Greystones, just south along the coast, to have a spot of lunch with Philly and Davida and generally hang out on the beach for a bit. But first - a building on the Science Park in Cambridge is being demolished.

A smashed window
A wrecked building
The building seems more vandalised than demolished
There's no glass left in the windows
The core of the building is a pile of rubble
The remains of reception
Round the back, destruction machinery awaits
At Stansted airport, The Boy roams around near Gate 40
Fred leans on a bench
The sea at Greystones
Isobel looks out to sea
On the promenade at Greystones, hand-prints on the concrete
The Irish seem to have a real penchant for sign alterations
A pavement lighthouse
Greystones promenade
The Boy stares out to sea
Fred roams around with Silky Sue
Fred pushes his own buggy along
Isobel and Fred on the beach
Nosher builds a small cairn topped with a crab claw
Isobel and Fred
Footsteps in the sand
Isobel and Fred scope for interesting stones
A rudimentary stone game
Hanging out on the beach
Philly, Fred and Isobel
We head up the beach
Fred pouts
In a café garden
A spot of lunch
An abandoned Aga-like stove in the garden of the café
Fred's eye can be seen through the holes in the back of a chair
Nosher and Fred
Mooney and Sons hardware store in Greystones
A smiley face on a pillar
Jagged rocks by the sea
An anchor, surrounded by hoardings
Isobel peers through to the building site
The anchor on Greystones clifftop
A new harbour and seawall is constructed
A nice 1950s yellow petrol pump
The derelict Wayne petrol pump
Yellow pumps at Davis Motors
Davis Motors petrol station, Greystones
Derelict building, Bray, Co. Dublin
A closed-up amusements arcade, Bray
Fred's got shades on
Evelyn and Fred
Fred sticks on Noddy's panama hat in Dublin airport
Isobel and Fred
The crowds surge on to the plane
Dublin Airport's new terminal
A Ruinair 737 gets towed away
At a rainy Stansted airport, an Easyjet 737 trundles off somewhere
In Stansted airport's baggage hall, an infinite sea of trolleys awaits
