My Irish Travels

A lovely week spent on the Antrim coast the weather was decent but not wonderful seeing such lovely scenery so green spectacular views of the hills, a hidden jewel Many highlights experienced on a daily basis Giant's Causeway is loved by many fans the water smashes against the shore making spectacular photos to spread and stand There's a lovely walk on the dark hedges where it filmed 'the game of thrones' see the places it all took place brings it all back known where it shown One day had a trip around the Bally places then stopped at Port Stewart for ice cream decided to walk the four miles to Portrush our main base but the sun, just a dream To Belfast and the Titanic museum what amazing facts here on show such a tragedy those years ago lives lost, many families filled with loss So that was my Irish travels so engaging but an enjoyable and truly learning time on the last day saw Londonderry's great wall shows all the past battles now peace may rhyme (My wife and I spent a lovely week in Northern Ireland a few weeks ago so I've composed this piece in memory of a lovely time)

Thanks Jan, Glad you liked my piece and you enjoyed Ireland too. By the way, we spent 3 days at Southport last week as it was really sunny there as we were down at a funeral at Wrexham so stopped in there for a break. Have a great weekend, Gordon

sounds lovely...had to chuckle at your line about the sun being just a dream...I am currently holidaying in Utah and the sun is a skin-searing reality! :)

Thank you for the highlights of your visit to Northern Ireland. Lovely write, Gordon. I love Ireland for its enchanting landscapes (didn't make it to the north) and wonderful people.
