Hay making featival: Trim, Sunday

Valentia

I mentioned before about the haymaking festival here in Trim. Well it's on on Sunday. Great photo ops. Old costumes, machinery. Dean Swift, tinkers wedding, crafts, sheaf tossing, donkey derby.......well just loads of stuff.

I'll be taking part so wont get much of a chance to take pics but if the weather is good I'd highly recommend it.

Also, for anybody up north, there's the mideval festival in Shane's Castle, Antrim

Gah, I wish I had a car

I think Bus Eirann is going to Trim, sounds like a good photo opp. alright! I'll check bus schedules and see if I can get there!

elven

Dimy, if you fancied bussing it, I'd be up for that... I ckecked and there's one at 11 and there's a couple home in the evening too...

Valentia

Just a quick note to say my broadband is down at home since 12am last Monday. A complete cock up between UTV (whom I left last March and BT) I'm nearly driven to distraction with it and BT Customer care is appauling.

The reason I mention it is in case people are wondering why I don't respond over the weekend.

The main events start around 2pm.

Yeah just saw, I'd be up for that. Any more people from Dublin fancy a bus-trip? We can sing songs and all...

I'm definitely up for meeting up. If there's anyone from Navan or surrounding area that needs a lift give me a pm.

I could meet up in city centre to give a lift for 2 or 3 people.

Even better than going by bus

elven

Ah but if you're going to sing in the car there's no escape!!!

Sounds like a plan, though. Would love to get out of the city for a bit.

Fajitas!

A singing Dutchman?

It'll be a long drive to Trim!

Still better than an irishman flashing himself.... :rolleyes:

Dimy

I'm afraid I can't make it tomorrow :mad: Sorry guys, hope to see the pics from those who do go though

elven

Ach

Still holding out for it though, if anyone else fancies it...

I'll probably still go trim ,I keep thinking about that photo thingy in city west though.

elven

Well, the lectures and stuff are on at 10am, the trim thing starts at 2pm... it could be done.

If you don't fancy trim it's no problem though, I can go by my ownsome, I even got the Dart to Killiney myself today

Do you wanna go to Citywest and then to trim ?? ,it's much of a muchness as trim is up the road from citywest.

I have a Gps thingy so I won't get lost

elven

I'm not fussed about the citywest thing, think it'll be a bit too much of a temptation to buy gear and whatnot Would I be able to meet you in between, or that too awkward?

I forgot about the small fact ,that we do live in good old ireland.

Bloody rain :mad:

Hope it didn't ruin the day for Valentia...

Bad weather is so annoying. Let's move to, um, I can't think of somewhere that it doesn't rain (apart from the sahara possibly)

Aye ,hope it was good day for them up there .
