Crosserlough and Denn GFC are having a Charity Fight Night in the Carraig Springs on March 6th in aid of Cavan Cystic Fibrosis and both Club funds. The Launch Party was here last night. Here’s club chairmen John Pat Martin and Ciaran McEvoy trying it out.

We’ve never had such a prolonged cold spell since I’ve lived in Kilnaleck, and I’ve never seen Corglass lake frozen like this before. Fritz Rennix says he rode a motorbike across it in 1965. Here’s intrepid explorers Craig Lovett, Donal Harten, Damien Lynch and Paul Lynch at least 50 meters from the shore this morning. There’s about 10″ of ice and it seems very solid, people have been out on it on motorbikes, quads, even a Mitsubishi Pajero!

The country’s covered in these sloes right now. They’re the fruit of the blackthorn tree so every hedge should have some. Don’t attempt to eat them. They’re bitter and horrible. They’re a member of the plum family. You can make jam, or better still SLOE GIN with them. Paul picked these on the bog line near Finea about two weeks ago and the gin should be ready for Christmas. Isn’t it a beautiful colour?
I know, I know, it’s in a Powers bottle but it was handy
Good party in the bar last night. Loads of people dressed up and enjoyed themselves. Happy birthday Cherelle

I can now take photos for gun licences, driving licences, giraffe licences, safe passes, passports etc. Only €7 for two or €10 for four. Ready in 5 minutes and guaranteed to conform to the new E-Passport standards. These people look like convicts but the camera doesn’t lie. They look like that in real life too…especially Anne Galligan. Dont tell her I said that.
These floating coffins are in Kill graveyard, a mile or so west of Kilnaleck. They are a mother and daughter. The mother was married to an O’Reilly from Baltrasna, but the O’Reilly family wouldn’t allow her burial in the O’Reilly plot. There is a spring well under the vault which causes it to flood. For loads more about Kill graveyard, check out this project done by kids from Kilnaleck National School in 2005 including instructions for using it’s famous healing clay which it is said can cure pretty much anything.
