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’.

A Game of Thrones Banquet at The Cuan

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.

Festival Lough Erne

The weekend of June 20 and 21 brought the first Fermanagh Food Festival. This excited me, more than it should have because I am used to attending similar events all over Northern Ireland. However, this is a first for Fermanagh! It’s great to see Fermanagh hosting a large event, and I hope that it becomes a regular occurrence.

Why is Sarah taking on the world?!

This is my first ever blog post, so I should start at the beginning. I’m Sarah, and I really am a small town girl. I am from a small village in rural Northern Ireland. More recently, I have been living in ‘the big smoke’, otherwise known as Belfast.

I recently made a decision to jet off and see some of this wonderful world.  Since making this decision, people have asked me why I want to do this. Why I didn’t do it when I was younger.  Why I waited to over a year after I graduated to make the plunge. Why this point in my life.

There are many reasons why I am doing this : View Post
