10 Questions About…

After the Ulster Folk Museum, everyone else had a rest and I walked in horribly rainy-sleety weather to the Queen’s Quarter towards Queen’s College. There were a few nice secondhand shops and I enjoyed shopping – but I have to say the weather was ugly. It was fun to get a chance to walk around a bit. Belfast really is a lot more like London to me than like Dublin. The shops are shops I used to see in London, there’s less grass, and it just feels more like London.

Saturday evening we all went to eat at Deanes. It is a very nice restaurant and I have say that the wait staff was really nice about us showing up with 3 kids. In fairness we did phone ahead and we did come in early – 6:00. So we were leaving as most folks were arriving. ALso I have the say that aside from a lot of giggling the girls were very well behaved.

The food was amazing. It was the best fois gras I have ever had. And much to the delight of the girls I tried wood pigeon, which was good. (Not as good as fois gras, however.)
