A True Irish Welcome at Kilmeedy, Millstreet

The wonderful smiles say it all! What a truly heartfelt sincere Irish welcome was accorded when Margaret Kelleher (on left) and I visited the very lovely home of Eileen O'Mahony at Kilmeedy, Millstreet on Wednesday afternoon. The splendid tea and refreshmnents added further to the great conversation.

It really was a magnificent trip down memory lane when Margaret and I went for a walk up the avenue (near Eileen’s home) on the direction of Clara Mountain which afforded some remarkably beautiful panoramic views – especially of Adrivale where my late mother (Mary Ellen O’Leary) was born.   So many of the plants to which I was introduced as a child are here in abundance including of course the “fairy thimble” or foxglove.   This memorable visit was so wonderfully uplifting and I wish to extend sincere thanks to both Margaret and Eileen for making it possible.   (Seán Radley)

  2. Hi Eileen,
    I didn’t have your correct address so our Christmas card was returned last year. I was glad to find a way to reconnect. You look wonderful and the Pennsylvania Toohig’s wish you a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. Terry T.
