|  Well
we have arrived back in the UK and are having a great time, visiting
all our friends.
We arrived on Saturday 27th May having made a shopping stopover
in Bali..... yes!!!!
We also touched down in Bangkok and Dubai and were on the plane
for 27 hours...
Deep joy!
Then we went to Peterborough,
Birmingham and London before boarding the plane to Northern Ireland. |

Dunluce Castle &
The White Rocks
The North Antrim Coast, Northern Ireland

 This
is Dunluce Castle.
This is an amazing castle ruins perched on the cliff
edge just between Bushmills and Portrush.
It is an impressive site to see. |
 Here
you can see the "White Rocks" in the photograph with
one of the most beautiful beaches in the world in the distance.

|  These
4 old guys were just sitting there on this park bench in Bushmills
watching roadwork's!!
They were sitting there when we went for lunch in
my cousins cafe "The Cooper Kettle" and when we came back
from the Giant's Causeway they were still there, they hadn't moved
in 3 hours!!!
We reckon that's a great meditation!
For your information, here's a Northern
Ireland TRAVEL TIP:
If you see that the road-side [kerb] is painted Red,
White and Blue, then you know you're in a Protestant Area. If the
colors are Green, White and Gold you are in a Catholic Area... Amazing
eh? |
 This
is soda farl: Irish soda bread with bacon and eggs a real Ulster
treat, made by my cousin's fair hands. We had a great time in Ireland
and are due back again in late July.
They have a great cafe in Bushmills called "The Cooper Kettle"...if
you want to taste tempting Irish Fare...it's a must..and it is of
course on your way to the Giant's Causeway and the Bushmills Distillery!!

The Giant's Causeway
of Northern Ireland
June 2000 |
|  If
you do not know what the Giant's Causeway
is, you should take a look here at The
Giant's Causeway.
Many people refer to it as the 8th Wonder of the World.
I just love the hexagonal stones said to have been the result of
a fight between two GIANTS tossing rocks at each other. One is Scotland,
the other in Ireland. The Giant's Causeway is the result...
It is my favorite place in the world to relax and be at peace,
we spent many Sunday's there as children having picnics in, what
we nicknamed, the "springy grass" ~ because of it's bouncing
qualities!!
