Jubilee Nurse, Skywalking and Help Needed with a Photograph


Ever Beautiful Ballybunion

Skywalkers in Tralee

I am always on the lookout for fun things to do when my grandchildren come to visit. They always love a visit to Bowling Buddies in Tralee.


The boys actually prefer Air Hockey to Bowling but on this visit we did both.











On their recent sojourn in Kerry the girls discovered Skywalking. This is an experience housed in the same building as Bowling but its a ride not for the faint hearted. My girls are gymnasts and have lots of upper body strength and flexibility so they were well able for the exertions. Their mother, on the other hand, found it a bit tougher and she was only going along to make sure they wouldn't be frightened.

Their grandmother stayed firmly planted on the ground.

Another Photograph from Johnny Hannon


Junior Griffin drew a blank with this one. Someone must know them. They are almost certainly local and I'm guessing the time is the 1950s
