Hospice Walk



In glorious weather on Friday April 19 2019 a big crowd turned out to walk the walk. This annual fund raising walk for The Irish Kerry Hospice is organised with the help of the O’Connor family in memory of Eamon O’Connor of Mike the Pies. Each year it goes from strength to strength. Well done all.

The Dog Who Ate Milkman

You’ve heard of the dog who ate the homework, the dog who ate the car keys and lots of dogs who eat postmen.

Our Molly would probably eat all of the above but her worst offence in my eyes was she chewed Milkman. This copy of Milkman was not my own. It belongs to the library. It has a long waiting list of readers queueing to borrow it. I was the first person to whom it was issued.

There she is looking all innocent in the protection of one of the people who love her unconditionally.

Milkman is a brilliant book in case you were wondering and this copy is still readable

AND

 Molly is now forgiven.

Happy Christmas to all followers of Listowel Connection. Thank you for all the support and good wishes in 2016.

I’m taking a short break to recharge the batteries. With your help, we’ll do it all again in 2017.
