I grew up in Donagadee, and it was great fun for my sister and a few of our friends to walk around the sea front from the lighthouse, get an Ice cream Cone or Slider from ”The Cabin” and head towards the old “Moat”. We used to take with us a small picnic which simply contained some Wheaten bread, Ulster Cheddar, a few Apples and a big bottle of CC’s Lemonade. We sat up on the hillside at the “Moat” ate our lunch the big Liners sailing up towards Belfast . We imagined all sorts of things and wondered where we would all end up. I now live in England but have caravan near Donagadee and travel there with my family during school breaks and part of the summer. As a wee family we like to do the same things I used to do with my sister and friends. Now I often wonder where in the world my children will end up living, and whether they will remember the fun times they had in Donagadee have wee picnics when we climbed to the top of the “Moat” and looked out across the sea.
