Eily’s Report – 7th June

eily1Dia is Mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome.

I hope that nothing prevented you from enjoying the wonderful Bank Holiday weekend. The whole world seemed to have been on the move, with everybody out in the great out of doors, soaking up the sunshine and the atmostphere. The number of people from other countries visiting, was very obvious and how great it was for once that we had some lovely weather for them to enjoy.

As always we welcome any visitors who are here at the moment and hope they have a nice time.

The countryside looks amazing with Mother Nature taking on her coat of many colours.

Look up the IRD Duhallow booklet which tells you of so many ways  that you can make use of the  wild flowers and berries as Summer  weeks and months go by. Exotic things like wild garlic syrup, purslane salad, elderflower champagne, to name but a few. Ring 02960633 for details of where to get  this lovely booklet.

The June issue of the new monthly magazine “Duhallow Today” is in the shops, and it is free.
