Northern Ireland: Belfast, Walk along the Lagan and Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon park (with video)

I took a walk along the Lagan from near Shaw's Bridge through Clement Wilson Park to Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon park.  

You can enter Clement Wilson Park from Malone road, it goes down to Shaw's Bridge and Minnowburn along the river.

Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon park was bequeathed to the people of Belfast by Lady Edith Stewart Dixon  in memory of her husband Sir Thomas. It includes meadows, woodland, riverside fields, formal rose gardens, a walled garden, a Japanese garden, a children's playground, a coffee shop, an orienteering course and many walks. The park hosts international annual roses trials with a permanent panel of judges.


Here is the video. 

 
 

And here are some pictures.

Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 434

Welcome to a new part of Vampire Heart unedited. Have you been bitten yet? 

Summary of the previous episodes: Viorel has been tortured by his supposed family who wanted to have him burn in the sun. Strangely enough the sun didn't burn him as expected but Viorel has no memory of who he is. Following the advises of his supposed father, he left Sighișoara and is now traveling to the West. After some skirmish in a previous city, he found refuge on a boat. Viorel is now in Vienna. The little problem is that the guy at the inn was a bit of an asshole and helped capture Viorel thinking he was a vampire, which he is but nobody needs to know. Now there is a huge man (which I call the colossi) taking care of Viorel and a priest. They brought a girl. Torture my holy water... Fail. Viorel managed to confuse everyone, now he would like to get out of here. But the girl seems pretty useless. They still managed to escape and he left the girl to the care of the boat lady before going back to have two words with his captors but his power of persuasion were failing him. The priest wanted to crack a deal but Viorel is not really up to help his enemies. He finally got some blood but he can't risk to stay in Vienna. He travel to Linz were he stays a bit to learn German.
Viorel wanted to go to Praha but redirect himself toward Augsburg instead where he wants to get a horse, except that the horses are a bit scared of his vampirism and maybe something else. Viorel is really not a horse expert. Then he comes into an altercation with couple of people, he wants some fear in his blood. The girl Viorel has found seemed to enjoy the game. Viorel prepares for the nightmares that come with a feast of blood, in a rush to leave, he cross the dukedom of Lorrain.
We introduced Sorina, three weeks after the beginning of Viorel's escape.
Viorel dreamed of Sorina and woke up not really remembering anything. Traveling to Paris, he arrives at "La cour des miracles". He is rescued by a stranger who turned out to be Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist he was looking for. Nicolas does some strange experiment without Viorel's agreement. Some people are looking for Nicolas's secrets. On the other side of Europe, Sorina awakes and Viorel's past in haunting him. Viorel discovered that he can change into a wolf but that's not the easiest thing to handle. After finding out that a younger version of Nicolas might not be acting with his best interest at heart, Viorel decides to leave for the north. He is now traveling with two people, Alexej who needed to get out of Praha and Irina who he accidentally rescued.
 

Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left off last time.
 

"Stay away from him, no matter what he says," I said walking to the stairs at the back of the room.

"But..." Irina started and startled.

There was another bang at the door and I was sure that it wasn't going to hold too long.

"Irina do as I say for once."

"I wasn't the one getting caught," she answered following me.

"If Alexei, bit you, or just even slightly scratch you, you'll become a wolf, or if your blood is not strong enough to bear the change, you'll die," I said.

Irina took a step to the side.

"What about you? You bit me all the time?" She said.

"But I'm a vampire first," I said not really sure about that. "And I can control myself. I can take things from you without giving any, or you'd be a werewolf too tonight."

Thursday Fiction 424: Parallel Slip 2: Rebel

Welcome back to a new Thursday Fiction, it's been a while. We continue with Parallel Slip 2: Rebel where we left of last time, following Isabelle as she figure out who she really is.


“Is your hand feeling all right?” he asked.

“Yeah,” Isabelle answered.

“No, I mean do you have feelings in all your fingers? It's a pretty deep cut.”

“It's not that deep,” Isabelle said swallowing and trying to be brave.

“You need at least four stitches,” Romulus said.

“Do we have to go to the hospital?”

“I would rather not, if the alliance can't find you, your mother will probably call the police and tell them I kidnapped you, then they'll come here but if we go to the hospital they'll be here even faster. On the other side, it looks like you were trying to kill yourself, it's even in the right direction for that, they might want to keep you for a psychological test and call your parents, I would rather avoid that too. It's up to you though if you trust me with the stitching or not.”

Isabelle swallowed, she had come this far, she had cut herself and removed the tracker and dealt with all the blood already, four little stitches weren't really all that much.

Wednesday Snippet 426: Fairy World 67

Welcome back to Wednesday Snippet. This week, we continue with Fairy World unedited just where we left off last week


Brownie smiled growing more excited as she went through the chapter. She reach the paragraph the shadow had been talking about fairly quickly and continued further down to the list of side effects. Nausea. That was it, the only side effect. She turned pages, checked the legend, the foot notes, the captions and the table of content for more. Nausea, that was it. If that was it, she could leave with it, and probably the person grounding her could leave with it too. Gideon, or Viorel? Could vampire even have nausea?

"Alright, let's do it!" She said.

The dark shadow smiled at least he seemed to be smiling, in a very creepy way.

"What?" Brownie asked.

"I think this is good, I mean for your grounding, just who are you going to bring inside of your own head?" He answered smiling.

"What?" Brownie answered taking the book away from him.
