Some images from Sunday's walk around the village....

 

Irish road-trip...a stop in Enniskillen.

 

After our visit to Ballina we headed over to Rostrevor where my ancestors came from but on the way, we stopped off in Enniskillen  the largest town in County Fermanagh for a spot of lunch. 

We had a fine lunch in 'Pats Bar' (where else?) and as I was driving I had to settle for a Guinness 0.0 which I actually really enjoyed.

I was amused by this big fellow who met me on the way to the gents!

Lots of life currently at our neighbour's...

 

Our friend Gaynor captured this the other evening, great to see so much life at the chateau here in La Guerche. This year is special for them. 

More benches from our Irish road-trip...in Enniskillen

 

Irish trip - more on our visit to Derry.

While walking on the walls of Derry I spotted this sign and thought it was worth going down to investigate.

After walking through the entrance you enter into a series of courtyards and passageways with a variety of shopping experiences.

It was Sunday so it was pretty much deserted for our visit but you can imagine how good it would be when filled with shoppers. It currently gets over 70 thousand visitors per year. 

With many towns closing down small malls (like Ayr in Scotland) there could be an opportunity to establish similar ventures to bring new life into town centres.

the 'Factory Girls' mural,

Another mural just off Shipquay Street also pays tribute to female factory workers with the city once having the largest shirt factory in Europe.

This week's fruit bowl!
