We had drizzly rain all day so packed up a few kilos of clothing to try and get under 40kg for our next flight, so that we don't have to pay over 20 pounds excess baggage charges on two or three flights. 6 Kg has headed for NZ by surface mail.
We walked through Coleraine town centre, a pedestrian mall, and noticed all the people are our height!. We visited Coleraine Library again. Although I found nothing, Doug found more on his grandmother Isabella Grattan's links to Henry Grattan, the Irish statesman.
Here is Henry in Parliament in 1780. There is a statue of him in Dublin and he is buried in Westminster Abbey. The Alexanders didn't feature in the Gentry books!
