GoodBye Stephens Green
St Stephens Green in the centre of Dublin is one of my quiet havens of peace in a city that sometimes seems like it will explode in a chaotic frenzy. At times the city just gets so busy it is good to step away from the noise, the traffic, and the crowded pavements.
I have two favorite place for this. I grab a coffee from somewhere and head either to Stephens Green or walk into Trinity College Dublin.
Stephens Green is normally big enough to find a place of peace, however it can get very busy during warm days in the summer. At other times of the year it is great, to walk in nature in the middle of the city is a real luxury that we can enjoy. The large trees, the birds singing, and the traffic kept at a distance.
This will all change next year. The entrance to the Green will be closed from the Grafton Street end to allow work to begin on the new subway/ Luas line that will connect main stations within in the city. It is great that this is happening, but losing the Green for more than a year is tough.
