ULSTER

My childhood memories go to Ballyclare, Blackhead, Carrickfergus and last but not least, dear Whitehead. My late mother came from Whitehead, and as children, my sister and I often had wonderful holidays with relations, exploring the town and surroundings, especially walking to Blackhead up and around back to Whitehead..one time, many years later, my cousin who lived in Whitehead, said, will you take her for a walk, walk her off her feet.. no such luck boy, I walked you off your feet!!  My Nana's sister had a house on the Esplanade, then later moved into town, near the picture theatre... McCaffterty... last time I was in Antrim, stayed at Islandmagee, this was for a weekend in 1996 from memory... would dearly love a return visit.... happy memories, even to the sea water swimming pool on the Esplanade at Whitehead...shall leave more memories to my sister...
