Hello Boys and Girls, I MOPE you are all enjoying yourselves this week. March already and it’ll soon be St Patrick’s Day. I can’t wait. This is such a great time of the year. The days are getting longer and the leaves are coming back on the trees. Isn’t it marvellous to be out and [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, HOW are you all this week? I can’t say I’m in very good mood. Not at all. I decided to give up sweet things for Lent. Well, when I say I decided I mean Aunt Molly decided for me. She said it was no harm at all to make a little [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, HOW are you all this week? I’m afraid I have another sorry tale to tell you. Yes, I’ve been fooled again. They say the course of true love never runs smoothly, but for some reason it’s always a pretty rocky road for me. But things were looking up on Valentine’s Day [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, HOW are you all this week? Did you hear about the chicken who won the lotto. It got very egg-cited! Get it — EGG cited. Postman Mick told me that joke this morning and we had a good laugh. There’s nothing like a good laugh. I read somewhere that children laugh [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, THE good news this week is that my bold piglets have found a new home. The ten naughty piggies and their Mammy Rosie are all together and having a great time in Dublin Zoo. They were getting to be a handful, especially after the swimming pool disaster. I’m sure you’ve [...]

Last week, we were fortunate to have Mandy Maher join us in preparation for [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, CUTBACKS, cutbacks, cutbacks. I’m sick and tired of hearing about cutbacks. Why can’t we have cut forwards, cut midfielders, even cut goalies — anything but cutbacks all the time? The cutbacks have even arrived at Rose Cottage of all places. I was just sitting down to my favourite meal, sausages and [...]
Hello boys and girls, HOW are you all this week? I was just out feeding the birds in the backyard when Aunt Molly asked if I had reminded you all to make sure our little friends are being fed around your houses. You see the weather has been so good this year that many people [...]
AS 2011 came to a close, the Dunmore Transition Years reflected on how much they had accomplished so far. Since September, the TYs have been helping the older residents of Dunmore with weekly computer classes. They are teaching them how to compose emails and surf the internet. An enjoyable experience is currently being had by [...]
Hello Boys and Girls, How are you all this week? Delighted to be back at school I’m sure. The winds were so high for a while there that I kept having dreams that woke me up. I was dreaming I was back at sea and caught in a terrible storm. Then I’d wake up with [...]
