Delighted to be welcomed to Redcastle Hotel Donegal after crossing the water on ferry from #norniron

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Stephen Grimason. Stephen was a gifted storyteller in his professional and personal life. His brother Darryl, a fellow journalist, only passed away just over a year ago. My condolences to their mother and all of the family.

Very sad news indeed. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and former colleagues.

Stephen was a genuine and thoroughly decent man and an insightful and thoughtful journalist and reporter.

He will be hugely missed by all who knew him.

Stephen Grimason, my dear friend, has died. He showed enormous courage against the odds right to very end. In over 40 years of friendship and rivalry we never exchanged a cross word. Lucky to have spent time with him in his last days. Sleep well my friend.

My circumnavigation of #NornIron is completing

And my journey continues across the North of this great island

Let's see where it may lead....

Beautiful sunrise over #LoughErne .

Despite the chilly start, there was plenty of snipe activity, common sandpiper numbers building up & flocks of whimbrel on passage to Iceland.

I have the privilege of representing my home- there isn't an inch of Lagan Valley that I don't know off by heart. A wind of change is truly in the air and where opportunities were out of reach before, they are now in touching distance. Change is on the way, I can feel it 💛🙏

Thank you so much for the support and encouragement
And the #norniron Tayto crisps!

Happy weekend everybody, see you later for #gogglebox ch4 9pm get the drinks 🍸 in 😆😆
