I work with a few girls and one guy from that area.
Hope you enjoy your break.

There's so much of N Ireland that I haven't seen yet.

UTV did that "Ultimate Ulster" of best villages.I'd like to see Ballintoy and Cushendall/Cushendun.
Cushendun in particular as it is designed with a Cornish slant paying heed to Lord Cushendun's wife who originated from there. As I moved to N Ireland from Cornwall I'd like to see the resemblance.

Bridie,

Fermanagh features on that Lesser Spotted Ulster programme and think it is on about 8.00p.m.
on Tuesday 6th October (UTV).
They are going to try out a canoe and a canal barge.

Really heavy rain this afternoon and think some parts of Belfast have had flooding.

My Dad saw a sea eagle over Strangford Lough yesterday. Apparently the ones they reintroduced into Scotland have started doing wee day trips to Norn Iron.
A vagabond on the way.

Cushendall is a crackin' wee place. I'll be heading back up there over the weekend. Got my passport today so I can officially relax and look forward to the 25 minute flight.

:D

a 25 min flight that I'm still too scared to take :roll: Oh No! I would rather be sick on a ferry for an hour and then have the boring hour and half journey through Ayrshire - sorry Ayrshire 8O before I get to Glasgow!

Have a nice weekend Peetabix in Cushendall :D

Bridie,

I only heard about it from speaking to a couple of girls at work.

Dot :)
That poor man was so lucky! He must have startled the stag deer they would have no hesitation in attacking anyone -as I've been reliably informed by my countryboy partner. Cage fighter's come in handy :wink:
Dot have you been to the Belfast Ikea? Is is as popular as say Glasgow?
