Lorraine has not got it all her own way and lots of the bits and pieces of news are passed on by friends and neighbours.Shannonbridge Brass Monkeys have got that worried look on their faces this past few days with a cold wind blowing from the east.The land is drying up well but there is still a small amount of flood around.While going to Mass in Clonfinlough on Sunday morning(10.30)
the flood looked worse on the field before Clonmacnois.Timmy Devery from Glebe was at the Mass.Tim of course was a famous accordeon player in his
day guesting with Paudge Bennett regularly.He looks wonderful.
The priest was telling about the history of the Lepers (not high jumpers)
and how they went around ringing a bell and shouting unclean.
He reckoned that there is a modern type of Leper, the one that has fallen out with a neighbour over mearings or whatever and has not talked to the neighbour for years.Anyone want to buy a bell ?
Mearings is a descriptive word for fencing Lorraine.
