After what felt like yesterday’s circumnavigation of the globe, we’re taking it a bit easier today!
So, we’ll spent most of the morning at the apartment, catching-up with our reading.
10.45am: It’s the warmest day so far – 19 degrees – so we’re heading out to National Trust’s Rowallane Gardens. What a beautiful place – and quiet too, compared with yesterday’s experience at Giant’s Causeway!!!! We’d temporarily misplaced our membership cards, but they said we looked ‘honourable’ and let us in for free (just shows how deceptive, appearances can be!!!!).
12.30pm: Then, off to Hillsborough Castle. Well, we couldn’t actually see the place, the closest we got was the Court House (pictured) – and there was a stunning-looking Church too. Still, it was good to look round the town, and we decided to have a light lunch out at The Plough Inn at the top of the hill in the town.
2.15pm: After lunch, we headed back in the general direction of the apartment, but stopped off at Audley’s Castle, nearby. It may have been a ruin, but the views across the lough, were spectacular!
3.15pm: Back to base for a cuppa and feet-up until we fall into the restaurant for our evening meal!
7.00pm: After a short snooze, we were ready for action eating! So, it was down to The Cuan where we limited ourselves to a starter and dessert.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
