The Happy Pear III

I never turn down an opportunity to go out to Greystones and to The Happy Pear. It was sunny and the thought of eating our lunch outside was tempting so off we went and brought Lola, my dog.

The Happy Pear, as always was bustling with people. It obviously proves to be a popular place to eat. If I lived in Greystones, I would be down regularly.

So I went with one of the daily specials, a Leek and Celeriac gratin with 2 salads. I got a spicy potato salad and pesto pasta. And of course they were beyond tasty. My Mum and Jesse got a Tomato and roasted pepper soup. Who's the fatty?me!

The Happy Pear never fails to satisfy me, always full of flavor and friendliness.

The Happy Pear II

This was my 2nd time going to The Happy Pear. I don't know why I don't go more often because it's quite near me. Anyway I went on Friday

They just do specials everyday, as far as I'm aware. I got the Cheesy Lentil Bake, which was unreal. It was so tasty. It was kind of curried as well. I need to try make it sometime. I also got 2 side salads. I went with a potato salad with semi sundried tomatoes that was all in some dressing along with some stir-fried vegetables.

Purple potatoes!

After the meal, I drank some really shit coffee that just tasted like warm soy milk. And went on some house creeping around Greystones. SO MANY amazing houses.

Bank Holiday Mondays

Today was a good good day. If I of had to gone to college, it would of been the shitest. Although If I had gone, I would've done some study.
It's when I'm trying to avoid study I preoccupy myself with so much stuff.
My exams start on the 17th and I've yet to start studying. Tomorrow! Well I say that now..

Anyway, I'm telling you about my great day.
I woke up and went up the Hill with Bella. Lola wouldn't come cause she is sooo lazy these days. It was so sunny and warm this morning, I could've done with some shorts.
Instead of strolling around the hill and taking the easy ways, I power walked/joged up all the hills. I'm trying to get fit and healthy. Well I say this now, By tomorrow I will have eaten my weight in biscuits. I tried to keep my heart beat going fast for the whole hour. So I would start running every now and then.

Yesterday my Mum agreed to go to The Happy Pear, in Greystones.'The Happy Pear is a natural food market in Greystones, Co. Wicklow with an organic and non-organic produce section, a café and restaurant, a world-class juice & smoothie bar, and a dried goods section.'
Most Importantly a Vegetarian Restaurant :).
I don't know how I've never been before. It's like I've never been to cornucopia. Everytime I go, there's zero seats.

The Happy Pear has outside seating, but there was none.There was loads sitting out the front, You can tell the place is loved by the locals and is very popular in general. So we sat upstairs. It's so lovely and cozy up there. Bay windows and bright colors. It's a pretty old building too so it has lots of Character.



They had several options. Salads, Pitta with Roasted peppers and rocket and hummous, Veg lasagna, some pasta thing and 2 soups.




I got the lasagna along with 2 salad choices, Chickpeas and Baby Potatoes. My sister went for the Lasagna with no salad.

It was good! It has leeks, courgette, peppers, sun dried tomatos, onions. I can't remember what else! The paste sheets were lovely and fresh. I could tell they were made there in the shop.

And the mother went for the 'Spring Greens' soup. Thinking back now, I never tried some.

Desert time! They has loads of options.


My sister and I went for the Brownie, I needed chocolate bad. Maybe should of been more adventurous! And my mum got Banana and walnut cake.






We got it all plus drink for around 30 euro, not bad!

Yesterday I got one of those raised flower beds for around 20 euro, So good. Most are so expensive. I've been wanting to properly grow vegetables for years. So today I finally did it. I put together the bed, filled it up with soil, planted the plants and bulbs and voila! I also had some potatos still growing from last year!
I hope to god it works out and doesn't fail. Too much rain and snails are my biggest barrier.


Planted Letteuce, Rocket, parsley, rosemary and onions so far.

Also, I found vegetarian Haribo! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.



Think I'm going to walk to Dunloire to meet Jesse and Alisha for the cinema!
