I've walked past Kerr's Candy Cart on countless occasions, and I'm beginning to wonder why. There's a plenitude of various traditional sweets, plus little jars of rock, bags of yellowman, lollies and candy floss...eh, hello Lynne? Sweeties galore?!
I finally came to my senses yesterday afternoon, and took it upon myself to have a wee nosey at the myriad of wonderful sweets. Despite being 60p a bag / two for a £1, the sun had obviously gone to my head, and I took four bags.
They were really quite small, but the novelty factor had definitely taken over. Plus the fact that I knew my dad would appreciate the bag of rhubarb rock, as well as the jelly beans. Furthermore, I was in dire need of a sugar rush, so the chewy cherries were a welcome treat.
Oh who am I kidding? I could've bought a bag of Haribo cherries for a pound in Easons. But, there's something captivating about buying sweets from an attractive red and white food stall...it reminds me of summers gone by. Plus, it's the only one of its kind left in Belfast.
If you're not up for the sweetie purchasing, you can pick up tickets for Belfast City Tours, Belfast Splash Tours or day tours around Northern Ireland. That makes things slightly better, doesn't it? read more
