The dreaded C word

I know, I know, it’s still November… but the lights are up on Grafton Street and they’re so pretty!

(Saw these en route to see The Go! Team, who were flipping brilliant! They’ve completely cheered my stressy busy week.)

    Bah, in one post you’ve made me doubly miserable. (but not really). I’m furiously jealous that you saw the Go!Team and I’m not going to Dublin for Christmas this year so I won’t see the lights. Excuse me while I shed a tear over your photos.
    PS. Cds are in the post

    Red, you are a star. I will totally post you a Christmas pudding and maybe some USA Assorted Biscuits if you’re not coming home! :)

    Sinterklaas arrived here last Saturday. I’ve been leaving my shoe out every evening but nothing has appeared yet ….

    Oh I do love that tradition. I’m hoping some kind soul saves some chocolate kruidnoten for my shoes for when I arrive over on the 7th!

    What I really need is Roses. Not that I’m asking you. It just came to mind, I’ll have to check that someone from Dublin is packing them.

    It can be arranged Red! I was gobsmacked to find out that they now do little special packs of all one kind of Rose, like the purple one. Genius!

    oh I love the chocolate ones too … I might have to get some for the weekend :-) How long are you over for?

    Hee, I’ve had about five bags of the chocolate ones this year, I never imagined I’d have special requests for Dutch food but there you go ;)

    Am over Friday to Monday with a sojourn to Dusseldorf for the markets somewhere in the middle. Can’t wait!

    I love the lights, I’ve never seen Christmas lights that classy on this side of the pond!
