Better late than...

So much for weekly updates.


Well, moving on. I'm going to catch up with a couple of posts.

Tuesday, September 6th and Wednesday, September 7th

These days were spent doing what needs doing. Weeding between bricks and pulling toxic Ragwort from the fields. Tilly the Spaniel swam for two and a half hours straight.

I was very kindly invited to dinner and a viewing of The Great British Bake Off on Wednesday, and was able to offer a bit of advice to a budding Graphic Designer.




Thursday, September 8th and Friday, September 9th

I got into the local town of Ballymena on Thursday for some necessities and enjoyed another dinner out near the coast. The family has a fabulous cat and a loveable dog, both American expats.





Friday was another day of chores, hanging out with the dogs and tidying, and spending time outdoors.


Saturday, September 10th

Today started with a lovely ride up the road. Robbie has got great personality and the rides are never boring. The dogs has a great run in the field where Tilly got her swim on, of course.



I was invited to attend an art event in Cushendun. A art class of children had built paper boats to be towed out on to the water after being lit on fire, ala viking funeral as it were. This was followed by a great evening of good food and conversation.


That's the coast of Scotland you can see in the bottom right.


On the way there, I passed by an old estate built in the medieval style which is now an academy. On the grounds lives the oldest Eucalyptus tree in the UK.


A book sale in an old church, with paper butterflies made by the same group of children; the lovely american expat Cocoa, and the paper viking boat.
