With only 5 weeks to go until I move to London after finishing my placement in Dublin, I've started making lots of lists. Here's one that's not to do with work deadlines or packing...
Things I'll miss about Ireland....
- Breakfast - Tea, toast and banter at 10 o'clock every morning is definitely the way forward.
- Car park - Being able to park right in front of the office building. Excellent for lazy people like me.
- Scones & Soda Bread - They just don't taste the same at home.
- People - So friendly with the ability to consume extraordinarily large amounts of alcohol and be fine for work the next day.
- Seaside - Living 5 minutes from the beach is bliss on a sunny day.
Things I won't miss about Ireland....
- Lunch - The dodgy vending machine and microwave system in the canteen is (in my humble opinion) questionable.
- Car park - Driving in on a rainy day to find the front car park full, knowing that you've forgotten your umbrella and that the 5 minute walk from the factory car park will leave you soaked.
- Scones & Soda Bread - I've eaten enough of them in the last 12 months to last me a lifetime.
- People - I cannot consume half as much alcohol as the average Irish person (or anyone else for that matter) but I will still feel twice as them bad the next day.
- Seaside - Living 5 minutes from the beach also means constantly finding sand in your shoes.
