Eily’s Report – 28th November

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.

I think that Don Williams was one of the first American singers to perform at the Green Glens. He was only twenty four hours in the country when he said that since he arrived he had seen four different kinds of weather and we’re still subject to lots of change. Going from milder than mild a few days ago with roses blooming again, even my raspberry canes bending down with the weight of fruit and now all of a sudden there’s snow and ice on the way. The old people had a great way of describing trying situations like this in the past. When they found it hard to cope with a thing they’d say with a sigh, ’Ah shur you’d want to be young for it.’

Regional Report – 21st November

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.

Starting off a new week, the sun shining brightly making the world looking around us looking good. Yet when you venture out the unexpected wind sends you buttoning up you coat and pulling down your woolie cap. Most of the trees and shrubs have shed their foliage by now. The leaves which adorned our gardens and country sides for months are now lying low where they will wilt and decay and turn into nourishing compost to feed their mother plant in the next season, to start the mysterious cycle of nature all ever again.

We have lots to celebrate this week Buíochas le Dia. Our gallant Senior Scor  Quiz team brought home the bacon on Saturday night when they won the All-Ireland Final of  at the INEC .They really did us proud.  See their pictures elsewhere on our website.

Well done also Linda Desmond daughter of our popular Lollypop lady Nuala and hubby Declan on her fantastic gold medal win at the recent National Elite Boxing Championships finals.
