I was at a birthday bash last night; three of us shared a taxi to Loughries, which is just outside Newtownards in County Down. The party was in a private barn so we brought our own booze. I filled three mini gin bottles with you-know-what, brought a bottle of tonic-water and a cling film-wrapped slice of lemon. The taxi fare was reasonable enough at £18 so, divided by three, that came to £6 each; £12 each, return.
I have been restoring - or reconditioning - the firescreen I bought at Ross's earlier in the week: I took it apart completely, cleaned the glass pane, washed the tapestry and treated the woodwork with a special mixture of stuff which had a potent aroma!
I'm off to Holywood this morning for coffee and a scone at one of the coffee-houses.

Have you tried Camphill in Holywood? I love it because they've a great range of Gluten Free produce, not to mention that their service is excellent (plus you're contributing back to the community)
Yes I have, Stephen. Ages since I've been, though; overdue a visit!
