I often pass through Ballyvourney on my way to Cork. It's a lovely little Gaeltacht village full of old world charm and character. One day last week I took a pit stop in the village and I explored the lovely  church. The photos speak for themselves.

Happy Days

Philomena Moriarty (now Kuhn) has many happy memories of growing up in Listowel. Recently she shared on Facebook some memorabilia of her dancing days.

1959...Philomena's first dance. Dancing was always and still is one of her favourite activities.

Mai Fitz's Then, Gapos Now

Recently the lovely people who run this restaurant closed for a short while. They posted this endearing message on their door.

In case of any misunderstanding, Gapo's is open and it's business as usual in this lovely place to eat.
