Post-quarantine to do in DCN

pinkypinky

Takeaway from Roseland (I'm too far for delivery right now), Sanuk

Eat in:
J2 sushi (I love sushi), Shaker & Vine (definitely including cocktails), Eddie Rockets. I still haven't tried any of the new restaurants in the Pavillions so should give them a go.

Misc:
Walk in Malahide castle/Ardgillan
Coast road Malahide to Portmarnock walk
Have a go on a swing (I will never grow out of them)
Hair cut!
Cinema

I have had J2 takeaway many times, their food is excellent, the restaurant location has always seemed to cause problems, there have been a number of decent enough restaurants situated there that have never lasted for whatever reason.

Shaker and Vine is my current favourite restaurant for dine in in Swords, and I would highly recommend.

The kids love Eddie Rockets and tbh it is my favourite go to for junk food, just a tad on the pricey side.

The cafe in the Garden Center in Malahide is very nice for a brunch.

I am a big fan of the Brew in Ballyboughal, often stop there when out cycling, but the family like it for Brunch as well, so we often take a trip down.

Other notable mentions Il Panorama in Malahide, Milanos in the Pavillions and Zaytoons as well.

Looks like we'll all be heading to Shaker & Vine, I love it too. Also Eddie Rockets, and Five Guys.

Sunday lunch in the Man O' War.

Breakfast in The Cottage in Swords.

Walks on Portmarnock beach, and visiting all the DCN beaches!

Picnics at Tower Bay

Going to Newbridge House with my grandsons.

Having the family in for dinner and boardgames, kebab nights, murder mystery nights.

It's amazing how exciting all the normal, close to home and at home pleasures have become

Would you be happier pushing up poppies?

Go for a long unrestricted cycle.

Skerries for coffee.Actually anywhere for coffee.
Bring the kids to Ardgillan, Newbridge, Skerries, the Pavilions, the cinema....anywhere they want to go.
Visit parents, friends, cousins, sisters.
And although I don't expect it to be too soon, I am so looking forward to the day I can drop them back off at their preschool and school and see their little excited faces when they see their friends.
Go swimming for myself.Really missing my usual form of exercise and running is out due to an injury....so I am also awaiting my next physio appointment with impatience.

Im lucky enough to be still working. Im meeting people everyday even a distance I know from chatting to a few they miss meeting other adults for a chat. I get out for a walk every evening with the dogs and trick around with the camera.

But I miss getting up at weekend and just heading off with my camera. Could be Howth or Tower bay depending on time. This year I miss the Rockabill Off Road MCC and Milverton off road grasstrack events and also the road racing season is gone now.
With my kids in Pipe bands we had 5 trips to Scotland this year for major competitions but all have been cancelled. My sons band are current world champions in their grade and favourites to do well again but as they say they hold their title for 2 years but only 1 medal.
I like Loughshinny harbour and the cliff walk from Rush.
I think it will be a while before I get to Howth or Tower bay

So a great week for me at the end would be a band competition, a grasstrack event and maybe Skerries 100 or East coast road races.

Anyway #StaySafe #StayHome

I wonder why J2 arent doing deliveries like the rest of the pubs/restaurants? I'm really missing sushi. We got GFP on Monday delivered and it was AMAZING! Defo recommend!

They were earlier in the lockdown, not sure why they stopped, I last ordered from them a couple of weeks back.

Is the Swords branch doing takeaway now? That'd be fab - I thought it was only Santry and Dun Laoghaire.

THey made a "big announcement" today on their facebook page (and I am sure their website too if you check it!). I think they are doing online ordering, just have a check and see. They seem to have expanded their service anyway.

I would just love a takeaway coffee, but I don't think I am bothered going all the way to Santry for it!

Swords GFP has been doing delivery and collection for a while now.

Had an excellent lunch from there on Monday and a takeaway another day while I was out for my walk.

Dizzyblonde

Speaking of GFP, we had a huge family brunch there just after Christmas. Babies, parents and all the grandparents together. That's one of the first things I'm looking forward to doing

They sure are open in swords and on just eat. The food was piping hot. The other half has only ever had breakfast there and now wants this once a week hope they still do deliveries when everything is back to normal.
