Dublin doors

Dublin is famous for their doors, they say that no two doors are the same. Many of the Georgian houses in days are now occupied by business such as solicitors and accountants. In days gone by the owners used to light the lamp above the door to let visitors know that they were at home.

Dublin

This weekend I have taken myself to Dublin for a weekend break. I have just come back from visiting Trinity College to see the Book of Kells which is in fact 4 books. Two books on display and 2 in storage. The work is amazingly fine and I cannot believe that they did it all with swans feathers. They used various mediums to colour it with and I believe they used oak apples and charcoal for the writing, indigo, the red was from pregnant beetles and the yellow was made from arsenic!
All this was meant to be a labour of love
