Delighted to hear this nostalgic poster of the Antrim Coast is now framed and all ready to be hung in a much-loved home in Northern Ireland.
I first discovered Travel Posters Online a couple of months ago while out in Kent on a shoot for Real Homes. A poster of a Devon beach took pride of place in Penny Jackson’s spacious new kitchen. Thanks for that Penny!
While researching the company for the magazine’s stockist panel, I couldn’t resist browsing the wonderful range of old travel posters and this one of Portrush – a favourite childhood holiday destination.
Every year, as we rounded the corner and spotted this view of Portrush with its rolling waves and golden sands, a squeal of delight was followed by the whole family breaking into an enthusiastic chorus of ‘We’re all going on a summer holiday’.
Halcyon days…very happy memories of simple pleasures including donkey rides along the beach, building sandcastles, thrills at Barry’s Amusements (featured recently in James Nesbitt’s Ireland TV series) and a delicious Morelli’s ice cream treat.
I reckoned my Dad would love this poster as a birthday present and, thankfully, he’s thrilled with it.
