Portballintrae: I

The little seaside resort of Portballintrae is as popular as ever.

It lies on the north coast of County Antrim, about a mile from Bushmills.

After I'd unpacked, I felt like paying my old acquaintance, Con Auld, a visit.

During the summer months he lives at his Portbradden home (top).

His tiny church, St Gobban's, was closed, so unfortunately he wasn't at home.

I'm presently in the Causeway Hotel, where I've had a light meal.
