Steam Train 461 Visits Millstreet and is Enthusiastically Welcomed

On an historic day in Millstreet (Sunday 10th May 2015) when a wonderful celebratory parade in honour of All-Ireland winners Chloe Barrett, Megan Lehane and Linda Desmond, an enthusiastic welcome awaited the superb Steam Train (despite the constant rain!) arriving in Millstreet Station from Cork. It remained at the 1853 Station for almost ten minutes. Later on its return journed it passed through with its marvellous steam, its nostalgic whistle sound and its trul elegant movement. It's been several years since we last witnessed a Steam Train in Millstreet. LTV2 Millstreet recorded the magnificent event. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)

May In Annagloor

With such wonderful memories how could anyone feel poor
Of the nesting songbirds singing in the groves of Annagloor
And the hawthorns looking resplendent in their white blossoms of the May
And the old fields in their wildflowers green and beautiful today
And the dark brown birds of the waterways of breast as white as snow
The dipper he is singing where the babbling Cails does flow
Where i first grew to love Nature years ago as a young boy
And today learning of her ways is a thing i do enjoy [read more …] “May In Annagloor”

As he spun a good yarn or told a good joke

Coolikerane’s greatest story teller when i was a boy
Good memories of him remain as a source of joy [read more …] “Memories Of Mick Connie O”
