Just back from 'Norn Iron', Belfast ...

Colin & I have just had a few days visiting our Ulster relatives & friends. Just as we were leaving home I noticed that the snowdrops on our garden bank had just poked their heads up. They are such a welcome sight; so I've just had to change the background image!

Mum-in-law Bettie is in fine form. We went for afternoon tea at The Merchant Hotel in downtown Belfast, a treat from Gary (Brother-in-law). Our friend Carole managed to join us between GP surgeries. Here we are:
Yes that is a rather green macaroon on the top tier.
 I laughed when I saw the facebook comment below from Ivan.
"Miss Marple when Julia McKenzie steps down ?"
And as usual we came back with our stash of tea; personally sold to me by the 'young' Mr. Bell.
