So, was a bit on the board side yesterday and I have gotten into the habit of getting in the car and heading on random, unplanned trips which would take me anywhere from Newry to Firies in Kerry.
Yesterday, I decided to pack the Mammy and the Sister into the car and said we shall head up to Junction One just at Ballymena for a bit of shopping as one of my friend's Ray said it was easy enough to find! Oh dear God... What a bad idea!!
The journey took 3 and a half hours, we got totally lost in Ballymena and what is the story with the lack of signs and the double roundabouts up near Belfast?? We ended up going around the double roundabouts so many times that it resembled a scene from National Lampoon's European Vacation!!!
So, we arrived there at 4pm and just about had time for a bit of smash and grab shopping before all the stores closed!
The bargains were great but think I will stick to Newry and Banbridge and save myself the frustration of double roundabouts and the lack of road signs! The signs are so confusing that on route home, we took a turn off that said 'Dublin', and it led us into a carpark!
Let's just say it was an experience! :-)
