Still on Capel Street

1st April in Dublin. Still cold enough to wear a woolly hat. But I didn't need to wear my mittens. Yay! The focus for the group was to sketch McNeill's pub. But the Good Vibrations adult shop next door is what caught my eye. Particularly when the sun came out and there was great shadows from the neon sign, which reads ROCK. The gentleman in the shop behind us told me it used to be a jeweller's and the sign was the first neon sign in Dublin. I don't know what the "The Irish Firm" sign painted on the wall means. 

Maybe I should have tried to sketch a little bit more of McNeills's, but I was meeting a friend and ran out of time.
