Hello. It was another beautiful sunny day here in Dublin and my dad
babies and I went to the pat pat farm. I was expecting just a farm
courtyard and some animals to pat but Airfield completely amazed me.
Firstly there were no animals to pat except some horses even smaller
then shetland ponies (the original 'my little ponies') and secondly the
whole place was set in acres and acres of beautiful gardens each walled
off and each section with its own theme. Throughout were placed
contempory and modern sculptures seting off the planting perfectly and
intermingled with those art students with water colours doing their
best to represent the stunning scenary surrounding them. The actual
place was owned by two well to do sisters who left it to the state when
they died. It was decided to build houses on the land but there was
such out cry that the council had to change their minds and expanded on
what was already there to create a place of such magicalness that you
forget that only a few walls away is the real world of hustle and
bustle. Afterwards we went to try the new tram system Dublin has
recently introduced. The kids loved it even jaygo who had turned into
the elephant baby after an allergic reaction to some of the grasses at
Airfield. The Luas as it is known was very fast and on time but what
made me laugh the most was at the end of the line the conductor over
the tanoy told everyone to 'enjoy their shopping and comiserated with any
blokes who might be having to tag along with their ladies as they
shopped because he had been there and sent them all his sympathy and
wished everyone a lovely day and God bless us all'. If only all
conductors were so amiable.
Ciao ;)
