I also had a lovely visit today to the beautiful Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centre to finalise details for this year’s summer tours on the 12th July!

We also discussed the Christmas tours which are set to take place on the 6th December - lots of exciting plans falling into place…

The Victorian Tours at Oldbridge House will be my second set of public summer tours - you can also find me at the Visit Mid Ulster Hidden Heritage Tours in Cookstown on 20th June, and in Magherafelt on the 27th July for the final Hidden Heritage Tour.

It was the second visit of the week to Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke today, with a trip to Newry for ‘WWII Memories’…

Lots of chat, lots of laughter, and a few memories of their own!

A great visit to St Eoghan's Primary School, Moneyneena. yesterday for a ‘Step Onboard the Titanic’ with the P5/6 class!

A warm welcome - despite the torrential rain! - from the Craigavon Group of Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke today!

The members met with Eva Jones, Billeting Officer, as she tried to recruit them to open their doors to the soon to be arriving evacuees from the Belfast Blitz…

It was a great pleasure to listen to the memories of one gentleman, who worked as a delivery boy during the war, who could remember seeing Belfast burn, and the evacuees arriving shortly after.

I was delighted to be invited back to the Massareene U3A group in Antrim yesterday, for some ‘Victorian Memories’!

As ever, Mrs Smith was on the hunt for a new laundress - sadly I left empty handed but there’s always next time…
