Great writers' footsteeps: looking for J. Joyce - Nicola in Dublin

Nicola is supposed to be a writer, but he's been afflicted by  a writer's cramp lately.  Furthermore he was somehow engaged with Edda and now that she left the house he's  been looming around idly flirting with all the girls.
Trying to revive his inspiration he has decided to take a trip to Dublin, on the tracks of J. Joyce's Ulysses.
Anyway he's going to enjoy a tour of the pubs.

Cecilia, who should know better, seized the moment and volunteered to accompany him, as a secretary. She's been eyeing Nicola since her arrival.

She thinks he's got the "tall dark stranger" looks. So she borrowed Ofelia tartan outfit an off they are!

Day One


First of all they pose for a picture with J. Joyce statue.


Then they head for the Writer's museum.


Then a visit to the Martello tower. Cecilia is  bored already.


And Ormond Quay.



Nicola has been blabbering for hours, he's in a stream of consciousness mood and Cecilia wants to die.....

Day two

Nicola is stunned when they meet Giorgia in Grafton Street, he completely forgets about the stream of consciusness and dragging Cecilia with him invites Giorgia to join in.


Giorgia loves Joyce, so she enthusiastically agrees.

They visit the Phoenix Park


Sandy Mouth Strand


And the Castle. Nicola and Giorgia are getting along wonderfully!


Day three

Nicola has completely forgot to focus upon his inspiration and proposes a  tour of the pubs!


The Market


The Stag's Head


The Temple


The Quai

Nicola and Giorgia are definitely an item. Cecilia is very angry at me, but I don't believe she had any chance with Nicola, would she ever find Mr Right Guy?

  1. Wow, that Nicola really gets around!!! And so there he is with 2 females!! The nerve! Cecilia should never have stuck around. In any case, everyone is beautifully dressed and the photos are as breath taking as ever!

    1. After all he's "lady thriller Pierre Devires"! and he absolutely looks the part. Cecilia could not complain, she accepted a job as a secretary and she only hoped to catch Nicola's attention, maybe she'll have more luck next time!

  2. I love your pictures. The fashions are gorgeous! Did you make them?

    Poor Cecilia. She looks miserable. I hope she finds her Mr Right.

    1. thank you Georgia Girl! Yes I do all the outfits (unless otherwise stated in the posts). Cecilia felt miserable, but so fare we've found out she doesn't like amusement parks and that she's not an intellectual.....there's plenty of guys around here, she'll keep trying!

    1. You know, Cecilia is like that, she projects her own dream on some guy and then she's frustrated when reality comes in. She had her chance but she was not the right girl for him....poor thing

  4. Loved the story and the pictures are fabulous! It's not Nicola's fault that Celia invited herself along. I do applaud her for giving it a shot. You never know until you try. It was evident they weren't a good match the minute she got bored. I wish Nicola well and hope that Celia will find Mr. Right soon.

    1. Thank you Vanessa. Cecilia keeps on trying, and I have a lot of fun writing little crazy stories for her.
      I believe she will find Mr. Right One someday!

    1. It wasn't really difficult, the Agnes sculpt always looks at least annoyed, I will have a hard time to photograph her when she'll be supposed to be happy!
      Thank you Linda!

  8. The outfits are stellar! Cecilia should have called it quits early on when she saw his interest wasn't geared her way at all.

    1. Thank you Muff! Cecilia will learn, with time....well, maybe, I think she's just like that, she doesn't admit defeat, or she's just a bit dumb....LOL
