A Taste of Times Past
An old chocolate box
I don’t remember these. I notice that the box contained 2lbs. of chocolates. This seems very generous in today’s terms.

A Book Launch with a Difference
Mary Kennelly launched her latest book in St. John’s on October 7 2023.
Mary’s latest work, Seven Steps to Birth a Crone, is no ordinary book. It is a limited edition (250 copies) work of Mary’s poems and artworks by Rebecca Carroll and Susan Hitching.
The launch was no ordinary launch either.
Mary sang with her group and she brought us a dramatised reading by her actress friends.
The artists and the poet, Susan, Rebecca and Mary

Meeting by Chance
After the book launch on October 7 I went to the Listowel Arms for lunch. There I met Marlene Harte, formerly of Listowel and now of Co. Cork. She was meeting up with her old work colleague and now lifelong friend. Marlene is now a frequent visitor to my beloved North Cork.

A Fact
The world record for a frog jump is held by a South African frog called Sanjie. He jumped 33 feet 5 and a half inches over the course of three consecutive jumps in May 1977.
