Manorhamilton and the Street Art of Dún Laoghaire, Ireland - 15th August 2021
It's the last few hours in Sligo, and we find an outdoor market in the carpark of IT Sligo. After buying some cheese and other assorted food items, we head back to Manorhamilton to drop Faith off after her sleep-over with Harry. After another walk around Manorhamilton, we make the drive back on the N4 and M4 to Monkstown Farm near Dublin. The next day, we head off without the boys for a walk around Dun Laoghaire to see some of the new street art, then Jen Mac makes an appearance with her new-ish dog Bear and shows us a load of back-alley stuff we'd missed the first time around.
