Lorraine Mc Kenna from Pottstown sends Christmas greetings to all her friends in Shannonbridge and speaks for many as she welcomes Kate home on Sunday 19th and thanks her for bringing life in Uganda onto our screens. Hopefully Kate will continue to write here.
Lorraine wonders why more business people in Shannonbridge have not come alive on this website and let others know what is to offer in the area. Can you help sell the idea. ?
Yesterday saw the final Christmas Dinner in Shannonbridge Power Plant Canteen. Tom from The Bog Oak organised the food and prepared a top class meal for a great mix of workers and retired staff that attended.
Today is bright and sunny with a wind that is forecast to keep temperatures to 10 C or 50 F.

Frosty Morning

Bare Trees
Fingered by a ghostly hand
Weird cobwebs
Lace the hedges
Crystal sounds
In startling nearness
Cheeks are roughed
By air like wine
And breath takes shape
Like an emerging spirit.

Shannonbridge Library closed last night for a Christmas break
and will reopen on Thursday 13th January at 7 to 9 pm.
