Scrabo Quarries

Meanwhile, whilst Elaine and her group are working hard in Newtownards town Hall, Charlie and I went for a walk in Scrabo Country Park 

It was a stunning day, and the dramatic scenery was more than a match for the weather - fantastic place, go see it if you can, we'll be back!

along the old railway

the North Quarry - positively Alpine!


Newtownards. Elaine is in the Arts Centre, the tower on the right
(built out of Scrabo stone by the way)

Happy Boy!
