When I was a boy living in Ghan House in the 40s/50s/and 60s my father Peter would go out into the darkness on New Years Eve with a bottle of Holy water and sprinkle it over the fields and and gardens of Ghan House.More > (0 comments)

A tribute to Nanny Jackie Woods
Nanny
Your smile brightens the room,
The joy you bring is priceless,
And your laugh is like an angels.
My role model,
Not only mine but all of ours,
When things went wrong, you kept us strong.
You never let us down,
Or under estimated us,
Thank you Nanny,
You're so special to all of us,
You play a huge part in our family.

As its Halloween, have to remember some really good times, firstly you were allowed to stay out really late.Gathering tyres(not eco friendly) for the bonefire up the 'DUMP' then playing 'Thunder and Lightening' plus removing gates, bangers,jumpin jacks, sparklers, rockets etc., all probably illegal and smuggled through from Newry, a good chase by the Garda and that just topped a great night. The bonefire at the Molly was also a big deal am not sure if it happened at the same time as the Dump bonefire or if we were relocated, can anyone remember?More > (0 comments)
