We got a flyer in the door advertising the St Patricks day fun in Kells. If you look on the back of the flyer, there are three or four pictures of people having fun, children with faces painted etc. If you look closely though, one of the pictures shows a car on its roof with a broken windscreen and two firemen beside it. I wonder if thats part of the attraction? Maybe thats what happens later when the pub shuts

Maybe I'll go to the Oldcastle one and then to Kells but the excitement would be too much.

They are trying to organise a raft race in Trim this year.
