One thing that is becoming a bit of a tradition at this time of year for our family is going to explore various Christmas markets. I went to University in Leeds back in the day, and that was one of the first festive markets I knew about, known as ‘the German market.’ Full of all
The third and final post about our trip to Ireland has, of course, got to feature our little trip to Northern Ireland. We had just one night and two days in Northern Ireland, but it was only an hour or so from Dublin to Belfast. One of our days was spent at the SS Nomadic
