Off we go!


The western beach at Portrush

A wonderful exhibition and presentation of a 15th century castle, Dunluce, and it’s history




Consultation in the rain. Clear skies for lunch at Ballintrae.


Colourful creatures





Walking towards Runkerry


A walk around the headland towards The Giant’s  Causeway after a little dip.






Yet another celebratory pint
