µKILDARE Reirees had another amazing outing organised by Ann on Monday last. (I didn’t realise she does a scout around herself to be sure of times, distances, opening hours, prices, …. before she presents a plan of action for a trip. No wonder the outings are so successful.)
This November trip was to Dublin with most of the travellers going by train although a few made their own way. All gathered in The Coach House in Trinity to view an exhibition by a Kildare based group of artists, Element 15. The exhibition, ROOTS, A Dialogue in Textile and Poetry presented a wide array of textile and multimedia artworks responding to Jane Clarke‘s Poetry. Two of the artists Marie Dunne and Trish Webb Duffy were on hand to answer any of our questions. It would certainly warrent a second visit. Follow link to hear/read some of Janes’s poetry.
Luckily, most of us were well attired for “the weather” as we headed up along the quays to PHX Bistro “a smart all- day eatery & wine bar” on Ellis Quay. (Follow link to view menus.)
After a delicious meal, we walked round to the Light House Cinema in Smithfield where we could choose between Cillian Murphy in Small Things Like These (2024) or Saoirse Ronan in Blitz (2024).
Great day. Míle buíochas do Áine
