A Few Images from Listowel at Christmas 2018
I will be taking a break from blogging for my Christmas holidays. I wish every one who reads the blog a very happy Christmas and a big festive thank you to everyone who has contributed, helped and encouraged me in 2018.
I haven’t quite gone away, you know. You can hear my “Thoughts” at 7.30 a.m and at 12.00 ish on Radio Kerry during Christmas Week.

Christmas in Killarney
I was lucky enough to spend a weekend in Killarney recently and they are pulling out all the stops to make it a Christmas destination.
The jaunting cars and horses were converted to sleighs and were filled with children singing carols.
The bollards were converted into tin soldiers.
