ROUND THE WORLD
42 - DUBLIN - SPRING TIME - 13 April 2025
Winter in New York seemed barely departed with only the bravest new leaves and flowers prepared to lean into the chilly winds still racing down the canyons lying between Manhattan’s ever taller buildings.
Arriving in Dublin, the sky clear of clouds and the sun warm we find spring is already well advanced. Here the trees are heavy with leaves and blossom. Flowers of every description including those which might be shy of appearing before the start of summer are already approaching their magnificent best.
The differences between the east coast of one land mass and the west coast of another, particularly one blessed by the presence of the Gulf Stream, are dramatic and most so when one jumps, airborne, from one to the other in only a handful of hours.
Dublin - the city in which so much glorious Georgian architecture remains and on a sunny warm day gifts us a happy arrival back to the British Isles; islands which we have not seen since being here at the end of October last year.
