Lisburn Exiles Forum
(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)
The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.
Hi all,
After a happy time with family at Easter, sunny warm weather, lots of daffodils & Spring flowers, eating in the garden & reminiscing, we now look forward to the next holiday, hoping the sun will continue to shine.
Earlier this week we were in Connemara but what at a change from the last time we visited. This part was on the fringes of Galway & is now a rich community in large bungalows & houses.
Where are the men in the fields, gathering hay & the children guiding donkeys home with panniers of fresh cut turf.? Where are the thatched cottages.? It is a good few years since we were in Connemara but such a change.
Doubtless the old one is still to be found further West, but time does make many changes. Still a beautiful peaceful part of the country, very scenic & quiet. Enjoyed the break at the Connemara Coast Hotel, where a bus of Northern families arrived & made our day.
