Belfast Summer Evenings – June

Another of those perfect summer evenings spent doing things we love in our home town, and where everyone and everything is bathed in the magical golden light of summer.

Starting out with ” lobstah” at Young’s – a traditional Maine lobster pound….

 

Followed by the weekly Summer Nights music at Steamboat Landing….

An evening stroll on the Harbor Walk and footbridge….

… back home…

A flying visit to Toronto

Only spent Wednesday evening until early Saturday morning, but we packed in quite a bit. The botanical gardens, IKEA (naturally!), a walk on the boardwalk at the Beaches, Queen Street, and Roncesvalles. It was all great!

 

 

Progress …

We’ve made great progress in the last 10 days. Kat and I stained the kitchen cabinets and painted the kitchen, while Ian and Dennis finished installing tongue and groove, sheetrock, and built a wall for the shower. Since then I’ve painted the eating area and back middle section, Dennis finished off the loft area and burned all the rubbish! We’re on a roll!

Playing in dirt …

My sister tagged me on Facebook with this very appropriate quote ….
