On a purely personal (non antiquarian) level I loved the programmes. Thirty years back I took up residence on the Causeway Coast for a few years of work and study. I loved the place. Martha Kearney's programme was a beautifully filmed reminder of the places I lived over there and how I spent most weekends for a few years.
I remember one rainy Sunday in December 1985 standing up at a window in the Mussendon Temple and watching the train from Derry disappear into the cliff below me. It was strange to see the exact view in the programme. I spent the rest of the evening after watching Martha's programme pondering the nature of time and place and where years go.
