Bloom in The Phoenix Park

    What lovely photographs, though I had assumed you were writing about James Joyce, LOL. I remember celebrating Blooms day when I was at university:-)

    It looks like a lovely day out. I'm glad that the weather eventually cooperated. Everything in the walled garden looks to be thriving.

    Thank's for all the lovely comments.

    Jennifer : The vegetables are great. I wonder how they get them to grow so big.

    Jude : Bloomsday Festival is set to start this weekend. http://www.jamesjoyce.ie.

    Jo : The OPW have done a great job restoring the walled garden.
