Pictures from the annual free admission airshow held in the West Bay Portrush Co. Antrim. This year was the first time I was able to attend on both days and as per usual the Northern Ireland weather was mixed causing some bad conditions and aircraft cancellations.

I had a short summer break based around Carrick-On-Shannon in County Leitrim. I visited a few of the local attractions and enjoyed the river and the associated walks.

Once in a lifetime event of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay passing through the centre of Portadown.

Pictures from the centenary show of what is my local agricultural show, which takes place like many other events during the year in Lurgan Park

The final Balmoral Show to be held in the Kings Hall and showgrounds in South Belfast before moving to the new 'green field' location on part of the old Maze prison site.

It's end of the Ice Hockey season and time for the playoff's, again held in Nottingham at the National Ice Centre. The playoff's fell over the Easter weekend and gave me the opportunity to travel over for the first time. While is was there I took the opportunity to see around the city and its attractions.
