Bangor Visit with Max

Drove across to Bangor via the ferry on Thursday 23 June after picking Max up in Glasgow. A pretty smooth journey. Maxwell was out for a golf club dinner on the first evening and also for lunch on Friday as it was Captain's day weekend.

Max and Colin headed out for a longish run along the shore getting close to Helen's Bay. Slow but tiring enough in the warm weather. Lunch afterwards at the Red Berry on the seafront.


In the evening we joined Maxwell and Liz for a concert in aid of Ukraine. It wasn't something we were expecting to enjoy with a choir, singing priest and an opera singer but it was a nice mix of well known songs from many different genres and all pretty good.

On Saturday we took Max to the Ulster Folk Museum. We were somewhat surprised by the crowds that had turned up. It was a special Ferguson Tractor day that had brought the tractor fans out in droves. We walked around the town area and had lunch in the cafe after quite a long queue. Nothing too strenuous for Maxwell but a pleasant visit.


In the evening we went to Bull & Claw with Maxwell and Liz. Colin tried crab claws for the first time - pretty good and the prawns were excellent.

On Sunday we journeyed home by road and ferry.
