Shopping and Swimming

10 August, 2005
Posted in: Belgium, Dublin

“Fresh Eire”

As hot as Barcelona and as stylish as Paris, but just minutes from Dublin, Dundrum has all the edginess of London high style with the chi-chi boutiques of New York. Welcome to the new style council.”

Excuse me? Dundrum? A distant and dull Dublin suburb whose major claim to fame is that it houses the state’s main asylum for the criminally insane. Stay away.

In other news, we went to Bruxelles-les-bains today.
A slightly odd experience: inspired by a Parisian idea, the Bruxellois import lots of sand, stands and water games along the canal.  Herself loved it.

‘Humdrum Dundrum’ sounds like a better title than ‘Fresh Eire’ then?

LJ, still not good enough for me.
Pog, your way with words is marvellous.

Yup – I’d be a whizz at ‘News of the Screws’ headlines, ay?
