Our trip to Ireland

Earlier this year, Matt and I went to Ireland. I think it was around April time. I never got around to looking at the photos or even contemplate writing or sharing anything permanent about the trip we took. Today it dawned on me how special it is to capture the little journeys we take and prolong them in whatever way is possible. So, this is what is possible to me right now. And I hope it makes me hold onto the memories just a little longer and cherish them in the way they ought to. 

Ireland was lovely. Rainy, but lovely. We began our trip in Dublin, where we spent two days exploring the city. We then rented a car to begin our journey. Our first stop: Greystones, south of Dublin. We stopped there first because I have a (un)healthy obsession with The Happy Pear, who inspire me to live a joyous, happy and more fulfilled life. Greystones is where they have their community, and a wonderful cafe & veg shop that I joyfully explored. After sadly not running into them - casually, you know - we drove onto Cork, where we essentially just hoped from cafe to cafe. Yes, there were attempts at writing and reading, but we mostly played card games. During the next 7 days, we travelled through rural areas and drove along the coast. It was beautiful, peaceful and just what we needed to switch of from the business of the city, especially London. Smelling fresh air, getting lost, dipping our feet into the ocean, sleeping in. It was rather wonderful and invigorating. 

I leave here some photographs - only a few I took as it has been two years since the last time I had photographed. 













Much love, 
Sofia
