Northern Ireland & Christingle

So Northern Ireland is still as beautiful as ever, the craic is good, Roughans and Morelli's in Port Stewart gorgeous as well as The Brown Trout Agherdowey. It was a time to 'chill and be' as well as a placement meeting, but that was OK. Could have done with a bit longer there though - so will have to try and go sometime in 2008 for a bit longer.

Got back early so I could go to the Christingle at Church and play and sing. It was the debut of the youth music group and I have to say it was great. People were impressed with the sound and I think everyone had a good time - so that is good.

It's a shame some people weren't there to see and hear the group, but one day they will I hope - it is so important to empower and encourage young people as well as older people. I guess that is why I went into youth work.
