Hello Boys and Girls, HOW are you all this week? I know the festival season has kicked off well for many of you but I’m afraid I’ve had a pretty shaky start. You see I read in The Herald about the Duck Races in Corofin and I thought to myself “here’s an opportunity for me [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, HOW are you all this week? I see some of your school gardens are coming on well. It’s such a lovely time of the year to be out planting this and that. Have you seen all the lovely Daffodils everywhere? This is my sign that the good weather is finally coming [...]
Hello Boys and Girls? HOW are you all this week? Do you remember when my invention of a submarine bicycle was rejected by the Junior Invention Awards people on the grounds that I’m not a primary school pupil? How mean. I told them I was young at heart and even had a letter from Aunt [...]
HELLO Boys and Girls, I see some of you are out getting your school gardens ready. Try and plant a tree or two if you can because the world needs trees. Fruit trees are needed even more. We try and be as self sufficient as possible at Rose Cottage. The chickens provide all our eggs [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, HOW are you all this week? What about the St Patrick’s Day parades? Weren’t they just great? I’m still excited after all the fun. I saw lots of you out marching and I’m very proud of you all. And the beautiful music and the gymnastics and the lovely costumes — you [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, IT’S nearly here. I’m so excited I can hardly wait. Is there anything better than Saint Patrick’s Day? I wish I could go to all the parades. We can’t make up our minds where to go this year. Last year we got to Tuam, Dunmore and Barnaderg. Boy, was it a [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, HOW are you all this week? I was talking to my friend the archaeologist, we call him Matt the Digger, because that’s what archaeologists do. They dig holes and find all sorts of treasure and things from the past. Some job, eh! Well he was telling me he was working on [...]
Hello boys and girls, I’M all over the place this week. I’d lose my head if it weren’t screwed on. Molly says it’s screwed on backwards and that’s why I’m always in trouble. Speaking of losing my head, I’m a bit wary of going out at night these days (can you say that?) because I’m [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, HAPPY Valentine’s Day they say but it wasn’t a very happy one for me this year, I can tell you. I’m not very happy at all at the moment because Aunt Molly and Postman Mick played a very mean joke on me. Yet another one! When will I ever learn? Anyway, [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, LIKE you all, I love to do my bit for the environment but my latest effort, while absolutely super-duper brilliant, had one little flaw which caused a big problem. I got the idea from seeing all those Green Flags fluttering proudly in the breeze outside your schools. I said to Aunt [...]
