Ballydown BBQ 2011
On Friday, it rained all day, but just about tea time it dried up and out came the sun for a lovely evening.
Some photos from the BBQ.

That Sound
On Friday Night last, just as I was preparing to turn in for the night, I heard that sound. Its a sound no matter how many times you hear it, still evokes distress, dread, panic.
It starts with a screeching panicked sound, then it turns to a confused crunching, destructive sound and after building to an eerie crescendo ends with a stomach churning silence.
You know in your being that the next few moments may not be nice, everything in you brain tells you to ignore it. But you cant someone may need your help and so you approach the door or window with dread.
On this occasion the car was upside down, lying on its roof if you will. and miraculously the occupant is unscathed and walking about in a partial daze.
This has become a common event, outside the house but much less so since they reconstructed the road and smoothed out the corner, none the less it still happens from time to time, and every time it is difficult to face.
Speed mixed with inexperience is such a lethal cocktail, slow down please!
As you can see in the light of day there was quite a bit of damage. Worst of all the telegraph pole was knocked over and now I have no broadband.

Joshau's Room
My friend Simon's, wee boy was very ill when he was born and they spent a lot of time at the hospital. Simon noticed that there was very little to stimulate and occupy the children so he had a bit of a brain wave. Simon is a designer and he came up with a very cleaver product that can be used indoors and out. His son is called Joshua and so he called his company Joshua's room.
I did a few product shots for him on Saturday morning so that he could update the website. Here is a link if you would care to have a look, and a few of the images

The Ulster Folk Park
Cellebrated Jo-Annes birthday on Wednesday by taking Nathan to the Ulster folk park. Even though we were blessed with wonderful weather, nothing outshines that wonderful smile he has. We had a ball, watching school groups play during lunch to getting up close to the farm animals. Here are a few snaps from the day. The old school that used to stand next to our Church Ballydown, was taken stone by stone and recreated in the Folk Park. enjoy!
