Dave and Paulien Kemp from Bradford arrived at the weekend for a two weeks visit.
Paulien is fond of walking and will have plenty of practise as they are staying about
six miles from the village. They tell us their son Michael is now working in Christchurch
New Zealand. Wonder will he meet up with Kerrill Thornhill who set off for Sydney in
Australia yesterday. Hope Kerrill meets up with Tammy Bennett daughter of Paudge
who is in those parts.
And an early warning that Shannonbridge girls Sarah Price and Ciara Finn are going
to do a round the world trip starting next April.
Met the two Kenny sisters from Clondelara last evening. Ita Kenny was down from
Dublin with her sister Agnes who is now Agnes Piggott and lives in Cheshire.
Met a group of ten people from Israel last evening who were spending four weeks in
Ireland and were now on two cruisers on the Shannon having travelled around the
country for three weeks. Paudge Bennett went down well with them and they are
strongly considering coming along tomorrow night to hear him once again. Last night
Micky Mac was in a sweat dancing and he had stiff opposition from a group of Polish
workers on the new power plant construction. Mac won by a short head..
