I do hope that there is someone out there from NI (Co Down specifically) that could meet up. Our Mums and Tots are great, but I would like to organise something a bit different!!!

snowisgone, do you suffer the same as i do, why do you keep reating yourself, you are starting to remind me of me Mammy.

fireflyfairy2 · 17/02/2007 23:30

She's probably on a laptop, sometimes those wee buggers will repeat the same thing again & again! I know when I'm on dh's I multiple post all the time!!

Ach I'm not too far from Portstewart strand, so we often go a wee walk on a Sunday afternoon, blows the cobwebs away if nothing else!!

CurlyN · 17/02/2007 23:33

I went over to see M&D last august, we went for the day to Portrush, as you do, I saw for the first time since i was a kid, a march thro town, OMG, Why the stick with thorns, and hugh leather belt, i was so shocked

fireflyfairy2 · 17/02/2007 23:34

I have no idea. I'll ask hubby, I'm sure he knows!

Thorny sticks? Sounds odd.

Portrush is nice too, but not as nice as Portstewart.

CurlyN · 17/02/2007 23:35

was a sw

fireflyfairy2 · 17/02/2007 23:36

Slimming World.

Dh doesn't know what the march would be for. Which is surprising, seeing as he thinks he knows everything.

snowisgone · 17/02/2007 23:37

fireflyfairy2 · 17/02/2007 23:42

I think I'm going to go off Tayto this lent...

maybe I should go off all crisps seeing as I don't often buy tayto though

Aero · 17/02/2007 23:45

I'm in Kent these days (have also lived in the Lake District and London) and have been in England since 1989. OMG - I can't believe that. I'm 36 now so not far off half my life away! With three kids in tow now, it's an expensive trip home, so we don't get back as often as we'd like to.

CurlyN · 17/02/2007 23:46

DP is now doing nodding dog infront of footie, must be crap, back in a sec, just gonna offer to fill his and my glass up!!! hic..

Aero · 17/02/2007 23:46

Think I'll be giving up hang-gliding again this year!!

CurlyN · 17/02/2007 23:49

ohhh areo, handgliding how on earty did you get into that. sounds fun, can you take it up at 36

CurlyN · 17/02/2007 23:50

sorry, i refuse to check spelling at this time of day

fireflyfairy2 · 17/02/2007 23:50

I'm sure you notice some change when you do get home though Aero. We used to go South every year, then when we had dd [now 5] we stopped going as much. We went this past summer & couldn't believe how up to date everything has became... the reason we liked to there was because it was a much slower pace of life than the North, much more old fashioned... but maybe that was just us!!

CurlyN · 18/02/2007 00:00

i'll tell you what, thats the first thing i noticed when M&D took me all around the peninsula, So quaint, and almost unreal. but, I after commenting how beautiful, and remote it was, second breath was, where do the kids play, where does everyone meet up, what do they do, does EVERYONE ride a bike, or is there a car hidden. sometimes it can seem miles from the neighbours. I don't know that I could handle that, M&D keep trying, bless 'em to get me to move back. ok I like to walk, but not that far to the nearest shops, park etc.

Aero · 18/02/2007 00:01

Curly, you do realise that the hang-gliding was completely serious......................................................................................................not!! lol

There's change every time we return fff2. I'm still having trouble getting used to B'hinch's one way system!

We're heading to Galway this year with my brother and his crew. Have to say we loved it last time (two years ago) because of the slow pace and the fact that we were pretty much forced to slow down and relax properly. Have to say the place we're off to (nr Letterfrack) is so remote that the chances are good for another relaxing week. Beaches are fab there and so uncrowded. Lovely.

I expect, like home though, there's always new developments in the towns. Driving through Enniskillen en route to Galway last time, it looked so different from the last time I'd been that direction (in my teens).
