There Was Always A Picnic

Loved Dun Laoghaire baths as a kid especially when it was a day outing with my Mother and my friends. There was always a picnic, banana sandwiches, salt and vinegar chips and red lemonade, always tasted so good after getting out of that cold water, wrapped in a towel and shivering uncontrollably.

Learned to swim there in the deep pool which I was not a fan off. Remember the instructor standing at the side of the pool with a long pole that you hung on to. I did manage to learn to swim!
