80 years old

This past weekend Lorraine and I went to Donegal with mum and dad, to celebrate mums 80th Birthday.  Its no mean fete reaching 80 years.  We had a very enjoyable time, been places we had never been before, plenty of eating and shopping.  Stayed at the Kees hotel.

North Coast

North Coast on Friday. Had a great time with Georgia, Nathan, Grahame.  Weather was good in that it didn't rain, at least when we were outside.

Had tea in the Causway hotel.  

In my humble opinion they have ruined one of our great natural resources, building that monstrosity that is the visitor centre.  You can walk for free but it costs £8.50/person to park.  Thankfully you can drive to the Causeway Railway, just down the hill a few hundred yards and park all day for £6.00, just saying!

12th Weekend,

Fairly packed weekend.  BBQ, Castlewellan Show and a Farewell dinner for uncle Larry.

Some photos, enjoy

IOM

My trip this month to the IOM was blessed with lovely weather.  I knew I would not be staying in Douglas as the Welbeck was fully booked.  Instead I stayed in The Falcon Hotel in Port Erin, a bit like faulty towers but run by young people.  I also didn't realise that it was a National Holiday on Friday Tynwald Day.  I was nice to get out at night as the days are so much longer with the good weather.  Hope you like the photos, turned out to be an interesting week.
