Is there anyone on this actually posting from 'home' that could help out on the 'Belfast on a budget' thread (topic - travel)? Original poster (v sorry, have forgotten who) needs ideas on cheap accommodation, travel, places to visit and where to eat.

Hi, I have returned "home" after 17 years in London and thereabouts only to find that almost everyone I knew before I left is also in London !. I am in Donaghadee and have a one year old boy - are there any other mums around here ?

Eve · 15/12/2004 17:08

I am also from NI...country Tyrone to be exact and now in deepest Hampshire!

..go home 2/3 times a year and will be back for xmas. Like you all miss it until I get there and am then frustrated by the narrow minded, selfish attitude of small town Northern Ireland.

Mums tells me crime is reaching appalling levels now.

Hi eve, just seen you on this thread too, so as not to hijack the other thread thought I would post here. Are you new to Galway or to that part of Galway?

eve2005 · 07/02/2006 14:58

just spotted your reply on this post! still getting the hang of this site.

am originally from holland but lived in cork most of my life.

mother is from mayo though and i've always loved the west so when partner and i started trying for a baby we decided we'd love to raise a family here. corny eh?!

trix1 · 07/02/2006 15:03

Not corny at all, I always get the feeling when I am in Galway that I am at home - I would love to be able to build a life there, but most of our family are in England (immediate family) I think it might be hard now to settle elsewhere, its also so expenisve to buy property in Galway now especially near the city. Kilkerrin is about 32 miles from you.

My husbands family are from Mayo near knock.

Am from Mayo (near Knock) now live in London have done for 18 years. Realised recently will be here for the same amount of years I lived in Ireland next year. I left when I was 19.

trix1 · 07/02/2006 15:20

Drosiphila - do you still miss it? dont you think you will go back now?

drosophila · 07/02/2006 20:02

I feel like don't really fit in anywhere. WHen I go home so much has changed (The Economy for example) and I suppose I have changed a lot too. I would love to have a base there and to some extent I do but I could never imagine living in such a rural place after London. I am quite shy and I find London caters well for that.

I miss the craic and the friendliness the most. Those of you who still live there and are about my age (37) do you know what I mean about how much it has changed. There seems to be so much money about - new cars and big new houses.
