For The Garden Group-ee’s
First up. If your name is not on the list – I am limited in numbers that I can bring by the very kind people of the OPW. As polite as I can say it…. You cannot go. It’s out of my hands, not my fault, nothing I can do…. sorry
For those who are going.

- Meeting Point: In the car park just at the start of the park
- Contact me: if you are really stuck I’m on [Vodafone Prefix]6594688 or twitter.com/DoneganGardens
- Other: if you reckon you even may have had a relation who fought in World War 1 – get some or any information. The names can still be printed off from the original records. You may also wish to bring a case/ folder of some format to keep your copy dry and in tact. Photography is encouraged!

- Weather: the weather…. your guess is as good as mine
and this is Ireland. But I will be keeping an eye on met eireann and saying a wee prayer. Bring an umberella. Wrap up warm. And wear some shoes that will keep your feet dry. - Lunch: I had suggested bringing a picnic. That’s what I will be doing anyway. All things going good it’ll be a flask of coffee and some nice sambos!

Peter, if you still have two places, can we tag along, I live over in Clonalvy.
Really looking forward to it Peter. Husband’s name is Jason Robards (same as the old actor) and he’s really looking forward to it too.
Peter, my friend, I’m afraid I have to drop out. I’ll be down delivering calves in Clare. True story. Or at least staying out of the way of those who are working on it.
Sorry – my usual bad scheduling!
– enjoy it though!
