Day off today. Did some work in the garden and then Rita arrived over with Bill and Catherine. Rita is staying with us until Monday. We had a meeting in the Town Hall with the Deputy Mayor as the Mayor himself was away on Council business. The local paper arrived to take pictures.

The Deputy Mayor, Councillor McKinney, was very kind we had tea with her and she showed us around the Council Chambers. She offered Rita her chain of office for a picture in the Council chamber. She also donated to the school, lots of souvenir pens and pencils etc.

Afterwards we all went round Carrickfergus museum and then we went down to the castle and harbour and I showed Bill where King William landed in 1690.
