Day out with my friend

Yesterday morning my friend picked me up and said that we could go wherever I would like. For some strange reason I've wanted to go and see the Tayto Crisp factory( Crisps are potato chips) in Tadragee. It is based in a castle and is very popular with the school groups - I think it has something to do with the free samples and give aways. On our way there we found a wonderful place for lunch out in the country just on the outskirts of Banbridge. It was a bakery/cafe and the food was amazing! We also stopped at a pottery shop that was based in an old Linen Factory. I can't believe the # of Linen mills there were in this area. When we finally found the Tayto Castle they told us that they didn't have tours on Friday afternoon. We decided to go and find the Bronte family home and the museum was listed as open - well the scenery around the Bronte Homeland is beautiful but the museum and church were not opened. The good thing is that we didn't have admission charges and actually it was almost as good just to be able to see the countryside. We stopped in to the new outlet mall on the way home and had tea. I am so thankful for friends - life is so much richer because of them.
