Hi Kat,

I hold both Irish and Canadian citizenship (handy to have an EU

passport these days and I can work or live in the EU if I wish). I

claimed Irish citizenship some years ago through my grandparents who

were both born in Northern Ireland. This trip, one of the things we

did was travel in the north, where I'd never been before. My great-

great grandfather was a Professor of Vocal Music at Queen's U in

Belfast (Queen's College at the time), so we visited there, and a

nice man spent quite a long time talking about it to us, what it was

like back then, etc. We also visited the places they lived in

Belfast (parking lots now) before they emigrated to Canada, and the

towns where they grew up (Dungiven, Magharafelt) as well as the

seaside places they visited.

We ended up travelling the coast, north to south along the west

coast. Amazing landscape! Every peninsula seems different than the

other. The Burren was awesome, just like being on a barren planet in

outer space.

My husband's aunt is still alive, living on a farm on the Beara

Peninsula, so we spent several weeks there (cheap accommodation, but

you have to put up with family). It's a really rugged part of

Ireland, gorgeous coastlines, not touristy.

Final year at university? Woohoo!

My suggestion would be to invent something other than those yicky

hospital/clinic gowns with the wide open backs : ) Not that I'm

planning to re-do any of this, but if I did, I'd be a customer for

sure.

Take care, and keep in touch!

Hi susan, we've been without the internet again (cry)!

wow so you've got irish in you huh? pretty cool. I love the irish

and the way they speak. Your trip sounded amazing! Being able to

traceyour family back to how they used to live. i would love to do

something like that. On the other hand my family are generally born

and bred " yorkshire men " lol so i guess it wouldnt be that hard

tracing them lol. i do know of one famous relative. my great great

uncle (eddie hopkinson) was goaly or reserve goaly for england in

the 1966 world cup game when we won. woowowoo. lol.

A professor of vocal music hah sounds very impressive! i bet it was

nice to go back there and for that guy to spend time talking to you

about it!

Hmm by the sounds of it i think i would like ireland. Im a bigfan

of the country side. i love going up to the lake district and

climbing the mountains! whats the " burren " ? i havent heard of that

before. sounds very cool looking out of space like. lol.

Did you see the giants causeway? my house mate (irish) took some

photos to show me it looks brilliant. Very weird how the landscape

changes through natural cause! I took a'level geography and was

intregued how these events took place and these natural icons

evolved. They are Beautiful! Really worth the hike to the top of a

mountain to take in the view too! glad to hear you had a GREAT time

travelling. Have you got the travel bug now?

yep final year at university (cry, ARGH). Im not sure what i am

going to do. its scary to think that in 9 months i will no longer

be a student and will have to enter the real world.

ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! haha. I had considered going traveling for a

year though hmmmm i dont know. I have just started working at a

bridal rouge gallery and im learning alot for my course and its a

possible career path for me (unless i go into designing hospital

gowns! very good idea btw!). HMMM i dont know too many options

spoils the mind and leads to confusion! lol.

i do like your idea of the hospital gown though. it would be nice

to be able to wear something that doesnt show you half naked and

makes you itch! It would be an interesting theme for a project that

i could have some fun with especially finding someone to model them

for me. haha. I shall keep you posted on any progress with it!

and send you some pictures of the models haha.

Take care
