A snapshot of Headford
THE mist shrouding Headford on Monday, July 24, caused me not to have many expectations. However, by the end of the day the sun was shining over the town and I left it with a happy heart, having met so many interesting and creative people committed to the welfare of Headford.
In the earlier damp weather artist Emer MacDermott was on the side of the street with her table of paints and brushes. She was painting a mural sponsored by 15 local organisations in return for having their groups represented on it. That set a good tone to the day.
A coffee and a scone in the Sunflower Café on the main street brought me face-to-face with proprietor Fiona Burke who sent me in a few directions which proved to be very interesting.
My first stop was the Solas Family Resource Centre, Main Street where I met Manager John Middleton who was unstinting with his time and information. Administrator Maura Egan was not there the day I called.
