Saturday 8th May 2010 we had a family afternoon out to Mount Stewart, on the shores of Strangford Lough - Mount Stewart is a National Trust property and I would describe the Estate as the Jewel in the Crown of 'The Ards'On arrival we had a picnic (picture 1 was the view we had as we ate lunch). We are members of the N.T. and regular visitors here - today was an exhibition of model airplanes by 'Skybird' a local model aircraft society. There were 21 exhibitors displaying some amazing model aeroplanes (picture 2 red arrows display team plane) with a flight display every hour on the hour. It was a great afternoon with a large crowd of folk enjoying the beautiful weather and beautiful surroundings.
Picture 3 is of Scrabo Hill and Tower that overlooks the town of Newtownards at the mouth of Strangford Lough - this view is from the area of 'Anderson Hill at Ballywatticock' - perhaps there is some family connection there!
