Saturday in Newcastle




Up in Tullymore forest Park in Newcastle on Saturday a great feeling of having some fresh air around you. Lots of memories of being at tollymore camping, walking around the trails eating pancakes in the cafe. (not yet opened for the season) climbing trees, eating picnics, singing as we go through the woods. It was much the same this time ...... Lot's of beautiful textures with the mournes in the background. It reminds you why its great to have all the fresh air we have in dear old NI.

Afterwards we went for afternoon tea in the lighthouse in the Slieve Donard Hotel a newish part they added I think last year overlooking the sea. The thing about it is that it has been designed for adults, lots of hard surfaces and shiney tables but it has become popular with people with kids so the noise just echo's around the place like nothing you can imagine. All they need is a big textile wall hanging on the wall to help absorb the sound. But the tea was nice and the company good. Good to blow away the cobwebs a bit of Newcastle wind.......................................
