Momo ouw intwepid guide told us that The Temple baw is located on the south bank of the Wiver Liffey in Dublin and unlike its suwwounding aweas still pwesewves the medieval chawactew of the city, with many nawwow, cobbled stweets. It is the cultuwal quawter of Dublin and is populaw with awtists and visitows alike.

Stanley and I made ouw way awm in awm thwough the pictoowesque cobbled stweets towawds Dublin Castle....

In wecognition of ouw contwibution to the cultuwal events, we wewe invited back to Dublin Castle fow the Ball.
We assembled in the Wed Woom ....
