Hi all, we are home after a really lovely time in Belfast with Miss Osc and the children. The Titanic Hotel was a great success, just as good as we had hoped. So much Titanic and Harland and Wolff memorabilia there, it was formerly the Harland and Wolff offices, the main bar is in the beautiful big office where they drew the plans for the ships they built including Titanic. Our drive up yesterday went smoothly with a stop at Banbridge for some shopping. Edward and I got some bits in M&S and Miss Osc got clothes for Michael. She also spotted a dressy jumpsuit that she thought might suit me, and although Edward wasn’t sure about it, he was persuaded
We had a very nice meal yesterday evening in the hotel, and then went for a stroll around outside the Titanic Belfast building which is lovely. They had a Halloween ‘find the ghost’ competition for children, so Kellie had great fun trying to find the ghost stickers around the hotel - she managed to find them all and her prize was two big cookies and a mocktail! So we were all in full-on Titanic mode for our visit to the Titanic Experience today. Even Michael managed to shed his teenage boy persona and get quite involved in it all. It was the third time Edward and I had been there but we still enjoyed it especially seeing Miss Osc and the children enjoying it. A new thing they have since we were last there is a place where you can take a photo doing the Kate Winslet pose from the movie which was really good fun, especially as Kellie had been creating it anywhere she could yesterday and today
We had something to eat there before getting back on the road. I’m now in my dressing gown and will be heading to bed early as I didn’t sleep too well last night. While we were at the Titanic Experience, Edward got a phone call about the echo cardiogram requested by the GP, and has an appointment for tomorrow afternoon.
