They loved the live 'Crib' and especially meeting 'Laurence' - the friendliest donkey ever!
There was lots of interesting stalls ....
and lots of 'yummy' food! Murray loved the 'bratwurst' .... (and Clive too!!)
They really enjoyed the atmosphere in Dun Laoghaire and meeting lots of friends. There were puppy walkers there and lots of pet dogs enjoying the lovely winter sunshine. Clive never had so many people stop to say 'hello' to him and Murray was brillant - talking to people and telling them all about 'my best friend Clive' ...
Later they went into the Christmas Market at the Dublin Docklands ....
There were more food stalls so Clive and Murray had to sample some more delicious 'bratwurst' ... (thank you Sorcha for these cool photos!!)
and the 'pommes frites' were just like they remembered them from Brussels. So they had one cone of frites and then had to go back for a second one! They were that good!!

While his Mom got him of the coolest Christmas gifts ever ....
Murray was so excited when he saw the Santa's Pen stall at the market ....

Many thanks to Santa's Pen for the lovely Christmas 'Cat' decoration! Tinkerbell slept under the decoration, under the Christmas Tree last night (much to Murray's delight!)
Clive and Murray had a great time at the Christmas markets in Dun Laoghaire and the Dublin Docklands. They met so many friendly people - Christmas really puts everyone in good humour!
Now, it's back to school for another few days before the holidays really begin .....

The Dog house is brilliant. We were filling up on Dumplings down the road at the Noodle markets in People's park. Trying to relive a Sydney Christmas with outdoor noodles while you were doing the the Belgian thing xx

Wow sounds like you guys had quite the adventure. We don't know what bratwursts are, but they look like hot dogs to us, and even though we eat it even with the word 'dog' in it, we still really like em! they're delicious. Merry Christmas!

In the photograph of Tinkerbell and Clive under the Christmas tree, Clive looks like he is dreaming about what he is going to get for Christmas. I hope his dreams come through and everybody else's in the House of Clive.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun! Have a wonderful Christmas.
