From Abbeyfeale to Sudan

"Welcome to Solo in South Sudan. My name is Helena Quinn from Abbeyfeale in Co. Limerick living in London. 

Earlier this year, I sent an email that would change my life forever. I embarked on the journey of a lifetime to Narus in South Sudan to live with Fr. Tim Galvin and Fr. John Joe Garvey and to get a taste of missionary life.

I was the maths teacher in St. Bakhita Girls primary school and on my second day was promoted to the lofty position of Headmistress of the Standard 8 candidate class.

I fell in love with South Sudan and every minute spent elsewhere will be just one minute closer to my return. 

This is my record of my life and experience in South Sudan. It is my way of sharing but also my way of remembering. "

Helena Quinn is back in Sudan. You can read all about her latest trip HERE

Quilters and Liam Dillon's repainted

" Stooks" of Irish Heritage Bristle/Black Oats cut with a reaping hook, this is from last years saved seed and will again be saved for 2014

The above photo and caption were posted on Facebook by a man who posts as Bromore Cliffs. He is clearly a conservationist.

Kathy Taylor sent me 2 more from the Quilter Clan gathering. First is Jacques Quilter of Lixnaw with his branch of the Quilter Tree and below is one of the youngest Quilters present planting a tree at their tree planting ceremony.

Liam Dillon's on Upper Church St. has been repainted by Fred Chute Signs Ltd. They have done a great job but the weather has been too bad lately for me to get a good picture of the finished job but I'll bring you one as soon as I get a good day and no vehicles parked in front of the shop.
