    Love the Derry Girls! Loved my visit to Derry a couple of years ago. I was camping just outside of town. I asked the young guy mowing the lawn, "The border's around here somewhere?"
    "Oh , just over in the shuck." Less that 15 meters. Though he wasn't around back in the day, he pointed out the British outpost, the dragon's teeth border check point up on the road. The city is great, the Free Derry Museum is a must see to anyone who's ever peacefully protested. Beautiful city, friendly people. (Even the Bogside teenagers trying on their best middle school menacing look were a treat. I'm from Detroit (during the Troubles we had the bigger body count than all of the North) but I tried to act a bit menaced. You can walk everywhere, people are friendly and any nuns you see won't be armed with rulers.

    St Columbs Cathedral, the oldest and most Historic building in the city was not even mentioned.
    Also St Agustines Church, and which she walked past wasn't mentioned.
    I WONDER WHY???? 🤔 🤔

    If she’s not into Walls Erin , she’s not into Walls!

    Not that it’s important but I think she is so pretty!

    That's amazing that they use National Lottery's money to fund projects to save heritage ❤ I'd be happy to be there as well. In Italy there's nothing similar
