Come on ,let,s be sentimental and walk down memory lane, who remembers courting around the Lonies?
For those too young to know, the leafy lanes around Lisnatrunk and the tow path which are now fenced off were once accessable to all and were a type of "Lovers Lane" for those from Lisburn, Lowroad and Hilden who had no car or money to go to the Cinema. ( That was all of us). Summer evenings would find couples strolling along Kelly,s hill, the Damm or McConnell,s hill, holding hands and searching for a shady nook to rest. Birds singing, crickets chirping and young men,s fancy turning to love. Those were the days, young, fit and vital with not a care in the world.
