Congratulations to Catherine and Michael Devine on the birth of a baby boy on Saturday 27th Dec the Feast of Saint John. Heard he will be named John.
Terry Collins from London made a nostalgic visit to Shannonbridge over the Christmas to see had the place changed much. About twenty years ago Terry was one of a group of four that stayed in Grouse Lodge for a fishing holiday.
Missing from its usual stand this year was the outdoor enclosed Christmas Crib from the green area opposite the church. The Christmas lighting in this area are a welcome feature but it is a pity the Crib was not on display. Perhaps next year. ?
Wren boys were a scarce commodity again this Christmas around Shannonbridge. Most of the children have opted for Trick or Treat at Halloween and the excellent adult groups of some years back were not to be seen.
