Coast and Glens

 The Antrim Coastal road towards Donegal in lovely warm and sunny weather. Another day of pretty villages, bustling seaside towns and beautiful scenery. 




Antrim is proud of its Glens too and The Glen where my beloved daughter number two had ‘bought my lunch’ It’s known as Queen of Glens and was just perfect. 








It was the Glenariff Nature Reserve and the restaurant Laragh Lodge, was very busy. 

Then it was on towards The Giants Causeway via Portaneevey 



Unfortunately The Car Park at the Giants Causeway was totally rammed at 4pm when I arrived and there was so much traffic on the road that I gave up. 
 Maybe tomorrow.

One for the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, another for a restaurant in a forest (which I will redeem) tomorrow and best of all…drum roll…. The Game of Thrones Studio Tour in Banbridge about an hour south of Belfast.  You park at the reception which is on the far side of a shopping outlet.    This lovely team member meets and greets then you go by shuttle bus to the studio. It’s about a ten minute journey. Thanks to Jenny,  with whom I was in Art School in Scotland I have watched all 8 seasons, but even if you haven’t, it is  a wonderful celebration of the artistry, dedication and sheer skill of a huge group of artists from all over the World. I met the young man who was one of the costume designers of the Wildings clothing. They ran out of mussel shells during construction and had to send runners asking seafood restaurants all over Belfast to save t...

 Does Donegal have the best beaches in Ireland, Europe or the World even? Quite possibly. Certainly this group of Italian photographers thought so.  I had to agree And mostly, only me there!  Enough said.
