XVIIIth Anniversary
Lord Belmont in Northern Ireland is eighteen years old.
Here is my very first entry on the 2nd December, 2007.
Well done Timothy old man. Always turn to your bloggy thingie after I have read the Telegraph obituaries. Keep up the sterling work. It keeps those of us living west of the Bann abreast of important matters. Have a good Christmas. Go easy on the juniper juice. Looking forward to 2018,
Congratulations and thank you so much for your very informative blog. I read it almost every day and relate your various articles to the local locations as I drive along.
One in a million! Much appreciated. Thanks Lord B. Incidentally, I am interested in the origins of Ferres. My partner's mother was a Bermingham. There's a curious route from that name via Gaelicisation and Anglicisation that connects the two names.
Congratulations Lord B on the onniversary of your wonderful blog , your enthusiasm and your research combine to give your thousands of followers a unique insight into the ‘Gentry ‘ and their fabulous and historical properties . Please take a bow !
Happy Anniversary Tim.
