NUMBER 376


BENCHMARKS continued

Continuing onwards and upwards, M.C. and Benchmarker rolled into Howth and on up Abbey Street to this 'mark, on a building that apparently was once a college at the abbey. It was a good time to reflect, and where better than in the ambience of turf smoke and Sky Sports of the eponymous tavern. M.C. enjoyed a libation of the 'fair trade' kind, while Benchmarker partook of a beaker of the warm south. And so the long day passed by ever so pleasantly.
