Fresh fish, grey seals and Irish TV presenters?


Howth, Dublin, originally uploaded by Gordon Gerard McLean.

Originally just a small fishing village and surrounding rural district, Howth is now a busy suburb of Dublin, sitting on the peninsula of Howth Head, east-north-east of Dublin city. Howth is perhaps most famous for its fresh fish and its status as the once long-time home of legendary TV presenter Gay Byrne. It's also the only place in Dublin that I've ever seen grey seals up close and smiling.
