Plans are afoot to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the building of the present harbour at Donaghadee, a small port on the north coast of County Down, but unearthing the Time Capsule, buried 24 feet below the pier during construction, will not, according to the
County Down Spectator newspaper, be possible as the whole harbour has Industrial Heritage designation and Listed Building status which prohibits any disruption to the original structure.
The Bicentenary of the harbour will, Covid 19 restrictions and budget permitting, take place in early August this year. The port lies on the opposite side of the North Channel about 13 miles from Portpatrick on the Mull of Galloway in Scotland.

As the year 2020 fades out of view, many of us inhabitants of planet earth wish the year hadn’t started, hadn’t existed and could be banished to the dustbin of history. We cannot do that. Marty McFly and Doc were living a pipe dream which never came to fruition. With the “don’t stop living” mantra, and in my personal selfish mindframe, there has perpetually been a need to show the good side of life, polish over excrement, to live in the moment and to remember that tomorrow never happened. Tomorrow is unpromised. Nobody allows us that privilege. Today is all we have.
