Review: Brunch at Pigeon House, Delgany, Co.Wicklow
I’m a girl who loves her brunch, I mean, the thought of it is enough to wake the dead, piping hot fresh coffee, the smell of bacon sizzling away, overnight oats with the freshest ripest fruit or stacks of pancakes with the most delicious maple syrup, all washed down with an indulgent glass of Mimosa, made with ultra fresh orange juice… I’ve got you salivating there, haven’t I??

New Gordon’s Pink Gin: Limited Edition
I’ve posted so many posts about alcohol that one might start to worry..? I’m actually just a bit of a gin buff, a nerdy hobby of mine. Last week I invested in two more bottles, I got my hands on the Glendalough Winter Gin and a new offering from Gordons, a LIMITED EDITION pink berry infused gin. I self gifted myself a bottle of Autumn gin by Glendalough Distillery last month, a blend of crab apple and cinnamon among other hand foraged botanics from the Wicklow hills. I instantly fell in love with it, so much so that I’m now obsessed with getting my hands on the other three seasons,…
