Trip to Ballyclare

This morning Millie and I are taking a little trip out of town to Ballyclare to find a memorial to Millie’s Great Uncle who died in the war. When we looked it up it wasn't that far so we set about working out how to get ourselves there.

We walked into town and asked at the information centre and found out there are buses going out there regularly. We had a bite to eat in a little café while we waited and then onto the bus and off to Ballyclare. It was about an hour away on the bus so we sat back and enjoyed the ride and the scenery. It is only a small town but it did take us a little while to find where to go. Once we had our bearings and directions from a local, it didn't take us long to walk to the memorial in the park. It was a lovely park and a lovely memorial. Millie was really pleased to locate it and send some photos home to her brother, Paul.

There really wasn't much to do in the centre of this little town, so after another walk up the main street we were ready to go back. It would have been a nice area to explore more if we had a car. We spotted a bus going to Belfast so we jumped on it. We got back into town just as Karry & Graham finished having a late lunch. We had another walk around the town centre of Belfast before heading home. It was a nice relaxing day today which is probably what we all needed.

We’re excited to be off to Scotland tomorrow to see what other adventures await.Read more
