The Allens lovely home right on the sea
-- looking across the water to county Down. We were
the recipients of the warmest of hospitality in this home
.... and we surely appreciated it to the full.
William is a retired banker .. both come originally from
southern Ireland but have lived here for many years. We met
one of their two children ... a young man that lives in the
vicinity but has just bought a home and property out of
Belfast. Their daughter lives and works as a teacher
in Switzerland.
From out bedroom window looking out at low
tide. Beautiful view!
Sunday dinner with Norman Nash along with
the Allens. Mavis had prepared a wonderful typical
Irish Sunday dinner for us -- it was delicious.
Great to become a little acquainted with Norman ... he
worked in South America for years so is quite rich in
experience.
Breakfast in Coloraine where William grew up.
They told us that the building in the background was severly
damaged by a bomb in the period of "The troubles"
