Mary Margaret Reid always had the first roses to bloom and it is good to see that her cottage now Cora Kellys has the same roses in bloom.
Cottage lovers like Paulien might like to know that the cottage alongside Louis Darcy's on the Cloghan road and once known as Hollerans and then George Hynes and presently Gallahers is for sale with Rothwell Auctioneers in Ballinasloe.Tel 090-9642127.
Our Westlife group started cutting the grass on the roadside and embankment on the approach road from Ballinasloe and are full of vigour to get it looking well.All help is welcome. Noticed on Saturday at the funeral in Clonmacnois that Offaly Council are in the process of cutting the grass. Coming out from the graveyard there is a sign warning of a £9000 fine for littering so I picked up a brown bag and found three lovely postcards of Clonmacnois inside.
