Ray and Angela Walshe returned yesterday after a holiday in Croatia with temperatures at 40C or 104F which Ray found a bit too hot. Hotels were air conditioned and had swimming pools which helped.The place was near Medjegoure and they took the time to visit there. Ray was saying that the temperature last year reached 50C. They found prices and things as cheap as Ireland.
Friends of Ray and Angela - Bruno and Maria Winkel from Darmstaad near Frankfurt are arriving today for a months stay at Ray's old home in Clonfinlough.
Saw a question on the paper yesterday asking where can you find the Turoe Stone, a carved granite boulder C 250 - 150BC.
