Had cereals and packed up. Mary took us to city bus stop. Got the 10.55am bus to Ballymena and arrived at the bus station at about 12 noon. We had a bite to eat and got the 1.30pm bus to Cushendall, nice scenery, a mixture of the Lake District and Scotland. Got to Cushendall at about 3pm. We collected the keys from Hugh in the shop next door he opened the Tower for us. It’s really good. Kitchen at ground level, bathroom on the 1st floor, office/computer/study with open fire on the 2nd and a bedroom each on the 3rd and 4th floors. Don’t know what we are doing tonight Dave will have it sorted no doubt while he’s out at the library. There’s art work of all description on every level in the Tower.
Dave made pasta tonight and then we went for a walk around the streets, after which we went to the 2 pubs in town and sampled the Guinness. We went first to the Wee Room, Dave was wearing his favourite shorts and a woman took a fancy to his bare knees, stroking them, her ‘intended’ jokily took advantage of this display of affection saying he’d never had his knees stroked. It all concluded in a most humorous way, shaking hands several times and taking an unfavourable view (put on) of Dave’s sudden attraction by his bare knees fame. In the other pub next door a rather large man asked Dave if he was Protestant. He then shook both our hands and we left, it got a bit crowded. Went back to the Tower at about 11pm and had a cup of tea and went to bed.
