Thanks Kev.
Is that the Post Office in Dublin?
Can't be many finer Post Offices in these Isles than that.
Yes Tikay it is. Isn't Dublin one of the most welcoming cities. One of the most interesting tours I've been on is the 1916 Revolutionary tour. I've done it twice, the second time I took along my two sons who both enjoyed it. The bullet holes from the British forces are still visible on the Post Office facade. I took them to Dublin in 2009. It happened to be the second anniversay of the loss of my their Nan and my fabulous Mum. She was born in County Longford in Eire. Here's a pic of us toasting her life in The Quays, Temple Bar at exactly 6pm the time she slipped away. | Click to see full-size image. |

Stockton on Tees might as well be on another planet when it comes to Post Office architecture | Click to see full-size image. |
