![]() Wednesday, June 27, 2007 Our kenya team got a mention in the local heroes section of the Belfast Telegraph tonight! Here's the online version. posted by charlie | 3:16 PM | Monday, June 25, 2007 Two Ricey's now! ![]() The big day itself was fantastic. I didn't sleep great the night before.....thinking about the rings, the speeches, getting up on time etc etc...... Fortunately i did make it up on time to get ricey down to Ginesis for a mid morning feed...he was nervous but was still able to down a Hawaiian burger and a pasty!! We then took a wee dander up the Windmill Hill in Ballynahinch(my first time..stunning views!!) before suiting up and making our way to the Mill. My dad lent us the car for the day (pink ribbons included!)...Ricey said he felt like royalty (thanks dad!)!! The Mill was a fantastic location for the day.....so unique and intimate....just what the Bride and groom had wanted. Davy Dunlop did a super Following the meal we mulled around had some photos taken and caught up with some of the guests. We had the speeches before the meal and i got through mine ok. In short, I slagged Pete off a little and then told him i thought he was great, that i was glad he and emma had found one another and that I looked forward to how God would shape and mould their lives together as he had already done with them as individuals. We'd a modern and tasty roast beef dinner for the meal which was all danced off later on during the party.... only to be replaced by the tasty bacon and chip butties around 10.30. The party went on until 1 o'clock closing with a few johnny cash classics!! I was so pleased the whole day went so well for Pete and Emma. As Dave said, they a unique and much loved couple and i think Saturday reflected them in that way! They're now off on Safari in kenya! Emma mighn't have to go too far to spot game as Pete will likely be running around in some leopard skin underwear!!!! Eating out locally! This a wee post for the local folks. I thought I'd recommend two places myself and melissa have been eating in quite a lot over the last six months. The Chip Stop in Drumaness - Located beside the fuel station in Drumaness. It's a great wee chippy, no airs or graces, just gorgeous grub and lots of it at very reasonable prices. It seems to be run by the people who used to run Shelly's Chippy in Ballynahinch which means you can pick up what used to be the 'Shelly's Special' - sliced chicken, peas and chips covered in chinese gravy! The plate comes stacked high and two of us ate there this friday night past for £7.60....couldn't be hard to that!! The East Essence, Ardglass - This is a fantastic chinese restaurant that mum and dad discovered. It sits right on the edge of Ardglass harbour. It's lovely to sit overlooking the boats on a summer's evening. Again the grub is tasty and well priced. They also serve your food very quickly...a matter of minutes after you order. Always nice to follow the food with a wee drive along the coastline. posted by charlie | 2:20 PM | Tuesday, June 12, 2007 couldn't agree more. posted by charlie | 9:22 PM | Thankful + Excited ![]() We've now just over 3 weeks before we leave. This project of taking a bunch of lads from ![]() I'd appreciate your support in prayer as we prepare to go. posted by charlie | 1:19 PM | Tuesday, June 05, 2007 Mourne Rally '07 This Saturday I'm heading to the hills behind Newry for the Mourne Rally. It's a fantastic event combining the high speed of tarmac with the narrow, damp and twisting roads of the forests! Unfortunately i'll only be there as a spectator but even just watching gets the adrenaline going with the cars zooming by only feet away from where you're standing. This video recorded by one of last year's drivers on Stage 1: Camlough. If you're at a loose end i can't recommend it enough. Grab a picnic rug and some snacks for in between stages and you'll have a great days craic. Spectator info here. posted by charlie | 4:21 PM | |
