    Playlist // Quench Your Thirst

    Recently, Limerick’s Rusangano Family released a single ‘Tea in a Pot’. Anyone that knows me, knows I’m pretty serious about my tea. Although the aforementioned song mentions Barry’s, I’m a lifelong Lyons tea drinker. Seeing as they’re not available in the UK, I’ve become a master at the art of importing the very best Lyons Gold Blend. For personal consumption, I might add.

    Just as I was wondering what theme I would base a new Spotify playlist around, I had an answer. Beverages. So sit down, grab a a big mug / glass / drinking receptacle with your fave and Quench Your Thirst.

    Requiem for the Red Cow Roundabout - nessymon

    I was in Ireland last week. Myself and Talulah got a coach from Dublin airport to Dundrum, extremely convenient for us and they go every 30 minutes. We got on a coach at the airport and before we had even moved, we were asked to change to another vehicle.

    A little while later we set off southbound from the airport, down the M50. First stop was the Red Cow Roundabout which seeing as we were the only ones on the coach, should have been a standard pick up and onward scenario. But, no siree. That did not happen.

    We were asked to change to yet another There was a problem with a door, the driver could not open the door. It required a bit of a kick and a good hard shoulder to give us freedom.

    Now, we had been delighted to get a slightly earlier coach than anticipated but messing around with a door and a driver refusing to budge and waiting on a mechanic that never arrived, meant that we had ended up waiting at the Red Cow for longer than we expected. Long enough to get the coach 30 minutes later to bring us to our destination.

    This is longer than I ever expected in my lifetime to spend at the Red Cow. Literally. You go through it or perhaps wait a maximum of ten minutes for a Luas (Dublin tram) but that’s it.

    So here we are, a requiem to that fine day, wishing I had a car and spending way too long at The Red Cow roundabout.
