The Dún Laoghaire 10k Run, County Dublin, Ireland - 6th August 2018

Whilst we're over in County Dublin, Isobel does the Dún Laoghaire 10k (that's six miles in old money) run, along with James. Afterwards, we visit the sea at Seafort Parade in Williamstown and follow that up with an ice-cream treat from Scrumdiddly's - aparently the place to be, at least according to the queues.
