Listowel Castle
May Langan pictured earlier this summer at Listowel Castle.
The castle is open every day to visitors. It is one of the many great Listowel attractions that every Listowel person should visit at least once.

Song of the Sea
Have you ever heard of a selkie?
No?
Well, they are mythical creatures who are women on land and seals at sea. Song of the Sea is a film all about selkies. It is a lovely Irish made animated full length family film. The dialogue is lovely and you will recognize many familiar voices, the animation is simple but forceful, the pictures are lovely and the music superb. You will never look at a seal again without wondering.

Bring the whole family.

Newcastlewest Agricultural Show 2015
I had a great day out last Sunday at Newcastlewest Show. I took lots of photos. Here are a few. When news is in short supply next week I'll post a few more.
My brother, Pat and my niece, Elizabeth won the champion's cup for the best ridden hunter with their horse, Sonny Bill.
There is always a Listowel connection. I met Mike Laffan of Kerry Group and his wife, Margaret supporting their local show by showing a bullock.
Listowel lady, Kelly St. John had a beautiful array of crochet goods for sale.
