Ta na HIGH NELLIES ar an mbóthar, suas go barr Tlachta, timpeall Rathvale, Baile Uí Fhallúin, trasna na h-abhann agus isteach go Tigh Fagan in Átha Buí, áit a raibh ceol agus craic (go maidin).
The HIGH NELLIES are off, over Tlachta and down through Rathvale and over the bridge at Ballyfallon, finishing up in Fagan's yard, with music and craic till morning.
Who is the Edwardian Lady? The gentleman is Oliver Usher from Ceanannas? |
An mbeidh siad in ann dul thar an gcnoc?
Will they make it over the hill?
|
An í seo Mrs. Darnley nó an Mrs. McNally? Is this Mrs. Darnley or Mrs. McNally? |

Siar bóthar na smaointe: Bhí an seanscoil Phrotastúnach oscailte don ócáid, buíochas le Eileen Cronin atá ina cónaí ann anois. Tháinig suas le dhá scór ag féachaint air, iar-dhaltaí agus a gclanna. Dhún an scoil tuairim is 1968. Tá Reachtaire Átha Troim agus Átha Buí sa bpictiúr ar chlé, An tUrramach Robert McCarthy. Chas Eileen cúpla píosa ceoil dóibh ar an bpiano.
Down Memory Lane: The old Protestant School in Athboy was opened for the occasion, thanks to Eileen Cronin who now lives there. Around forty members of the Church of Ireland community, past pupils and their families visited. Rev. Robert McCarthy, rector of Athboy and Trim is in the photo on the left. Eileen entertained all with her piano playing. Norman Coffey is singing along beside the piano. |
