Today was to be a jaunt taking the riverside route and cycleway down the River Lagan from Belfast to Lisburn.
Inspired observations gained from my travels up and down, matched to an eclectic music track of my choice (probably indie/soul) and made into a quirky blog from this old recalcitrant rɪˈkalsɪtr(ə)nt Lancastrian adjective 1. having an obstinately uncooperative attitude towards authority or discipline. 1. a person with a recalcitrant attitude. "a stiff-necked recalcitrant and troublemaker" Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable. Franz Kafka. Next trip coming very, very soon….

Chasing Cars...
Breakfast stop off at the Lock keepers Cottage by the overgrown and neglected canal
At Lisburn I stopped for a chat with Eric Morcambe, the comedic inventor of the defibrillator!
A few miles from Lisburn was affluent Hillsborough, with its royal residence for the Secretary of Northern Ireland and somewhere that Liz and Phil can stay when they visit the territories.
When they go out for a pint they usually visit the trendy Smithfield House bar in downtown Lisburn, so we did the same.
Todays track by frontman Gary Lightbody from up the road in Bangor, Northern Ireland lead the successful band ‘Snow Patrol’ that I once saw as a support band to ‘Athlete’ back in the early nineties.
