- Day Eight: Derry & BelfastBreakfast this morning was an early affair at 8.30am, again a fried egg, mushrooms and toast (sadly no potato bread today) and a tomato. I’d packed up most of my things the previous night so it only took me about Posted by PrincessFiona in Irish Ramble | Mar 30, 2012

- Day Six: Ballycastle & DerryI woke up this morning to yet another gorgeous day, and as much as I would have loved to visit Rathlin Island this time, I felt the need to press on to Derry. So after yet another hearty breakfast, I Posted by PrincessFiona in Irish Ramble | Mar 26, 2012
- Day Five: BallycastleI am absolutely shattered. Going to get this blog entry knocked out then pass out for several hours, haha. I had a bit of a trying day today, just kept getting lost and turned around, I think I chucked ore Posted by PrincessFiona in Irish Ramble | Mar 25, 2012
- Day Four: BallycastleGot through a whole lot today!! Carrick-a-Rede bridge, Giants Causeway and Bushmills, plus a few other stops besides. But first, breakfast.

- Day Three: Belfast & Ballycastle"I got a car!!! I got a big, black shiny car!!!" Well that's not entirely true... I do have a car, she is indeed shiny, however she is neither big nor black. She is what's known as a 'compact' and Posted by PrincessFiona in Irish Ramble | Mar 23, 2012
- Day Two: BelfastGod, where to even begin with today... So glad I'm writing everything down, a lot of what I heard today is going to take a while to process. I'll start at the beginning with the most important meal of the Posted by PrincessFiona in Irish Ramble | Mar 22, 2012
- Day One: BelfastGuys, as you've all seen my facebook you'll know already I survived the flight over (who wouldn't - it's only an hour! Plus I had my kindle) and arrived in one piece at Belfast International. I had a bit of Posted by PrincessFiona in Irish Ramble | Mar 21, 2012

- 3rd January 2012We were both woken during the night by strong winds. Even out of the campervan the winds still disturb our sleep. The winds lasted most of the day too, and we heard on the news later that they got up Posted by kimdanny in Kim and Danny 2011 | Jan 8, 2012
- 2nd January 2012For some reason our alarm didn’t go off and we slept in a little. This usually wouldn’t matter, except that today we were picking up our New Year’s Eve friends to go on a road trip up north. So there Posted by kimdanny in Kim and Danny 2011 | Jan 5, 2012
- 1st January 2012We both had a terrible sleep. At one point Danny got up, leant on the free-standing cupboard and managed to tip it over, giving me the scare of my life. In the morning he had no recollection of this. We Posted by kimdanny in Kim and Danny 2011 | Jan 3, 2012
- 31st December 2011We decided to go for a quick walk around Galway through the horrible misty rain. We saw a couple of churches, both not open, a market with only 3 stalls and several canals. The main shopping streets were bright and Posted by kimdanny in Kim and Danny 2011 | Jan 3, 2012
- Last blog before I go home!Well, who'd have thought the year would go so quickly. Certainly not me, especially after the summer holidays when the time seemed to drag. These last few weeks have flown by. It helps that we are busy at school and Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Dec 19, 2011
- It's DecemberAn interesting if not very eventful week. Britain endured a day of strikes by civil servants over changes to the pension plans. As a consequence, the school was closed on Wednesday. I can understand the concern of the teachers, nurses, Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Dec 7, 2011
- Counting Down to ChristmasAs my time here in Northern Ireland winds down to its conclusion, I find that my motivation to complete the blog wanes as well. That’s not to say that I haven’t done anything, just that I’m feeling that point Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Nov 26, 2011
- LatersSo here it is. I'm on my way...almost. Just as soon as I get up at stupid o'clock in the morning. I packed, then halved it and packed again! And somehow I actually managed to have space left over.....so I Posted by le_peeps in The Redundancy Tour | Nov 17, 2011
- Remembrance DayThe Brits sure do know how to do "pomp". Remembrance Day was Thursday and the school "celebrated" with a special assembly, somewhat similar to the way we celebrate Anzac Day in Australia. Today (Sunday) is Remembrance Sunday and the BBC Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Nov 13, 2011
- The Final CountdownSo for those in the know, I'm getting laid off this month. There it is. That's that then. Given I'm about to have some free time on my hands, I thought 'job smjob, I'm getting outta here'. So on a Posted by le_peeps in The Redundancy Tour | Nov 1, 2011
- Calm before half-termIt's actually been a fairly quiet week, although as usual, once school starts on a Monday, it seems it is soon Friday. The nights are drawing in now and the weather has been pretty wet, so it was nice to Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Oct 30, 2011

- A week full of surprisesIt's been quite an eventful week, starting on Wednesday when a couple of Marines visited the school. They did some sessions with the prefects and then took the First XV rugby team for a workout. How do I know this? Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Oct 9, 2011

- Suddenly it hits me.OK, feeling heaps better and have finally realised that if I want to take pictures of things before I leave, then I'd better start.
