I've just returned from a few days up in the Lake District. My kids thought it would do me good and I must admit it has given me a little breathing space.The weather was really nice and with it being a Bank Holiday weekend there were lots of people about. I have enjoyed reading all the new postings on the forum this evening.
This time last week I was on the ferry coming back from Dublin. I had barely enough time in Lisburn to see anything or anybody. Well I did have time to visit the bakery and the chip shop. One for fruit soda etc the other for pasties. My freezer has now stopped taking in. All the best for now Maureen

Hi Maureen,

Nice to see you back, you certainly deserved a break after all your setbacks, it is always good to get away. It would be lovely to be close enough to be able to stock up on "Pasties" the way you have done, guess I will just have to eat enough of them when I am back home. Isn't it funny after all these years we still say "back home", especially since I have lived here in Canada longer than I lived in N.Ireland.
