Ten years of tour guiding, over and out.
Its been a long, long time since my good friend needed a spare set of hands. From those early days of literally carrying a wheel of blue cheese about in my backpack, we've come a long, long way together.
There has been cheese, and coffee, and oils and vinegars. There have been influencers, and TV crews and people looking for a fun Saturday afternoon. I hope I've shown them all a really good time, seeing as I've hustled so hard i have barely any pictures.
I've lost count of how many steps I've taken, how many hot chocolates I've served, just how many wedges of lime I have tucked into servings of Jawbox. I can show you the spot where ginger ale was invented, where the Capstans were lifted, when the Belfast bap was born. One of these days, I might even shut up about the late 1800s.
It's been a joy. A delight. I'll miss it so, so much. But apparently working every hour of every day isn't good for you and so the time has come to hang up my hat. Thank you, for allowing me to be part of Belfast throwing its arms open to visitors and homebirds alike. Its been a privilege and a joy.
Belfast? Pro tanto quid reretribuamus. I hope I've given back a little. You have given me so, so much ❤️
