It is Valentine's weekend and half term from school. The sun is out and spring is in the air. So what about a lovely walk get out and about and see all the signs of spring. Snowdrops, crocus and signs of colour are bursting into life to cheer us all up after that cold and frosty winter.

Today at Whitethorn Cottages

The sun is shining and the place is white with snow. There is nothing nicer than a walk round the roads taking in the scenery. Here are some photos of our walk this morning.

Whitethorn Cottages, luxury accommodation just 10 miles from Belfast City Centre

Belfast is buzzing with a whole catalogue of festive events to entertain you this Christmas, including Christmas pantomimes at Grand Opera House and Belfast Waterfront, the Continental Market at City Hall, Christmas fair and market at St George’s Market, festive discovery at W5, concerts, musicals, winter wonderland workshops, tours and much more.
In recent years Belfast and the surrounding areas have become a colony attracting and encouraging artists and entertainers in all aspects of the performing arts.

A creative community spirit has cultivated a year round programme of festivals, live entertainment, music, exhibitions, film and sport to rival that of cities long established in this diverse area of the arts. And the social life of Belfast has been the direct beneficiary. Belfast is a lively, year-round festival city with plenty to see and do.

Enjoy fun with friends and family in a host of award winning restaurants, bars and cafes throughout the city and experience the Belfast craic and welcome in the City’s eclectic range of pubs, clubs and entertainment venues.

Whitethorn Cottages are just 10 miles from Belfast City Centre, just 15 minutes in the car. Enjoy the privacy and peace of the cottages and the sights and sounds of Belfast.

With snow for a week now it is so different from our usual view from the cottages.

Snow at Whitethorn

As promised we have got snow. There is nothing nicer than a fall of snow to make it seem like Christmas. With the logs on the fire and the snow outside there is no more cosy feeling.

Snow is forecast for the week and Christmas is on its way, so why not visit Whitethorn Cottages.

A new camera to try and help me give you better images of what we have to offer. More pixels means you can see everything in more detail. Let me know what you think.
