Photo when I was President of Ulster Poly SU (now Ulster University) when we did a three day fast outside Belfast City Hall to raise money for the Simon Community Northern Ireland. This was at the beginning of my journey in housing which I am still proud to be involved in 45 years later.

Flying over the Wirral Peninsula this morning where I spent some great summers in Moreton in my early teens with my cousins.I still eat crinkle cut chips as my Aunt used to make them for us. Went for walks with my uncle across to Hoylake facing Wales and to New Brighton facing Liverpool 😊 #nostalgia

International Womens Day parade in Centre of Belfast just now. Met Ray Cashel who was CEO of SHAC Housing when I chaired it in 1980. Also Kevin Cooper (pictured) He was a sabbatical officer when I was President of Ulster University Students Union Jordanstown #IWD2025

Picture from @cihhousing.bsky.social Ireland Awards last Friday at Titanic. With colleagues from Túath Housing now the largest Housing Association on the island of Ireland. I’m nearing the end of my 3 year term as Chair but what an incredible journey it has been with a fantastic bunch of people

The City Hall Belfast tonight on Valentine’s night

Great to see JP Mc Cusker (Armagh Man) officiating for Everton tonight. The last game against Liverpool at Goodson. He has a morning show at radio city tower Liverpool . As an Armagh manI spent my early years in the company of his dad John O Mc Cusker. I am especially proud 😊

Homeless
By : Haynes King (1831-1904)

Just walked to Sydenham station via City Airport. After a quite a walk took the footbridge. Why no signage at the top of the steep steps telling which platform takes you to Belfast City centre. Surely a simple sign would suffice? @belfasttelegraph.co.uk @irishnews.com

Nice afternoon walk along the River Liffey as it passes through Lucan on its journey into Dublin City

It’s Christmas Eve and I would ask everyone if you are out and about today give a fiver to the first homeless person you meet (or £1 to the first five). If you aren’t out please donate £5 to a homelessness charity you know. There are many great organisations out there I know.They are everywhere

A crisp but nice morning in Derry from my apartment

Great visiting Myanmar and Laos today in a wooden boat along the Mekong river at the Golden Triangle from Thailand. Also the Opium Museum. Myanmar is on the left and Laos on the right in the photo

Happy 5th birthday from Thailand to my beautiful granddaughter Dearbhla. Can’t wait to see her for Christmas xx
