For mum's birthday we took her to Belfast to see where her father's family, the Coulters, were from. We found the two houses where he had lived before emigrating to Australia. They were quite near the beautiful Queens University in the city.
We also did a taxi political tour of the city, which was interesting but very sad. There is still a wall dividing the Falls and Shankill Roads. The checkpoints on the crossroads are still locked every night!
We also did a great day tour up to the Giant's Causeway and around the Antrim coast. It is such beautiful countryside! We loved it all.

Hi E1, Cullybackey co Antrim is where my relatives come from. So next time we go over we will definitely be going to Nth Ireland. Belfast sounds great. We were watching Billy Connellys video yesterday when he was in Belfast. It looks very exciting but scary.
Great to hear all the latest news.
Take care and talk soon.
