Belfast was our destination on Thursday 1st February and return on the second. We went by aeroplane which did not take very long at all. Of course I would have preferred to a gone by sea, but 'G' said that would take too long.

Here be where we stayed - a place called Stranmillis College


It was founded in 1922 to provide state-funded teacher education in the northern portion of the recently partitioned Ireland.

With its very attractive and historic campus of 18 hectares only three kilometres from the centre of Belfast. "The College's track record in teacher education since 1922 has been second to none".

I would have liked to have seen a bit more of Belfast, for various reasons including that it was once a great shipbuilding city and where they built the Titanic a shame about her maiden voyage mateys.
