How are we all doing? I've been a bit dormant for well a while now so I apologies for my absence I've been really busy at work at the moment and this is where I usually find the time on my lunch breaks to write my posts.
So last time I left you guys I was only a few days off visiting Northern Ireland with my boyfriend to get introduced to the family. I had a really good time actually, his family were so welcoming and made me feel right at home. We didn't get up to too much which was nice in a way as it is nice to relax for once unlike my usual holiday
Whilst over there he showed me around his local area, where his friends lived and where he went to school and would hang out. We went and took a walk around the Craigavon Lakes which were a 40 minuet walk from him house which was lovely, I managed to get some really good photos of the swans and ducks whilst there.
We also went in to Belfast on two occasions, the first being to celebrate St Paddy's Day early with his two best friends Jayne and Dave. We went to a place called Bubeque with is an amazing American style BBQ meat place. I had a beef brisket sandwich, corn bread and mac n cheese, if your ever in Belfast hit this place up its amazing and the service is so quick.
We went on a bit of bar/pub crawl and had a drink in each pub. The pubs other there are awesome they're all really different and none of them are alike. One we went to had this vintage theme to it in the balcony seating area with floral prints and the next one had booths, it was an old pub which is leased out by the national trust ... I paid £6.20 for a Jack Daniels and coke I wanted to cry :'(
We ended the night at this place called Alley Cat which is another American style food restaurant which also has a bar so me and Jayne ended up having a tea pot cocktail :D
On our second trip to Belfast we went and did some shopping and looked at the sights. I managed to persuade my boyfriend to let me go to the Titanic Quarter which is a museum dedicated to the Titanic. This is a museum which walked around at your own passe which is quiet good and is split into lots of sections and different eras before the titanic was built, when it was being built and what happened after it happened.
I found it really interesting to take more of a look in to what happened, and the events leading up to the disaster. I would recommend it but it is quiet expensive.
Hope your all well
