A Friend's Birthday and Visiting Howth...

Today is one of my friends birthday. But as I wasn't going to see her during the week, we met on Saturday for a little trip to Howth which is a small cosy fishing village north of Dublin city.

I made her a little handmade jewellery gift which I think she liked and some cupcakes!





The cupcakes was a good excuse to make some for me as well. They are vegan and the recipe is coming soon on Veganlovlie.

Our day trip in Howth was a really refreshing one. Howth is actually close to where I live but I had never been around the area before. It is more than a fishing village actually. There's a nice mix of picturesque residential development and a breathtaking serene hillside.

We spent our time leisurely, walking around the cliffs and up the hill. We were lucky to be blessed by great calm weather on that day, Ireland being windy and rainy for most of the year!

At the end of the day, we came back to the village centre for an early dinner or late lunch.

Howth is definitely a place to go back and visit anytime. There is still a lot more to see in this little village.

  2. I think I like the fact that the village has different colors for each house and store, it makes for a lovely sight-see!
