That time I went to prison…but not for what you think!

The Crumlin Road Gaol Attraction and Conference Centre was opened on November 2012. Two and a half years on and I still hadn’t been on a tour (I did attend the Spooktacular in 2013). So, one sunny Tuesday morning, Mum arrived in Belfast and wanted to explore somewhere new. It wasn’t long before we decided to book a tour for ‘the Crum’.

Dining at Rocket and Relish

Rocket and Relish is one of the closest restaurants to my home in Belfast.  When Mum came to visit and we wanted to go and eat somewhere close to home, Rocket and Relish is the obvious option.

Belfast Rose Week – July 2015

After the success of our family visit to the Tall Ships, we decided to have an outing to Rose Week at Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park. Mum has very green fingers and loves all things flower related and I love walking around these gardens, regardless of the time of year (as long as it isn’t too wet).

Last week, I wrote about how Tall Ships fever had taken over Northern Ireland. Game of Thrones fever has been thriving in Northern Ireland since the HBO series premiered in 2011. For those who are not aware,  a lot of the series is filmed in NI, with locations such as the north coast and Castle Ward as well as Titanic Studios.

Tall Ships, Belfast 2015

Belfast has got Tall Ships fever right now. On many billboards, you will find an advertisement for them. At many restaurants, you will find nautical themed menus. It’s difficult to walk down the street without seeing a child in a pirate or sailors hat.
