I am so glad that Miss Debbie( What my dad called my wife) and I visited Northern Ireland last Easter, 2018. ( Come to think of it, a couple of you who know my wife call her that...)

There have been riots in Derry. ( It is called Derry by the Irish Republicans and Londonderry by the British Loyalists)

It is a place where the Catholic vs. Protestant feelings still hold strong.

Once again, what a difference a year makes.....
