Wk 2 in the Broagh

 

Tuesday 5th July - went for a planned evening tea and some conversation with John McKenna and his wife Maureen. She informed me that her brother was at the Rainey school around the time I was there.

 

Wednesday 6th -  Had been to see Eamon Regan last week at his house in Castledawson road and as he had organised this meeting in the Parish Centre I was invited with my brother Sean to come along.

 The lunch provided was excellent ( the Parish Priest Father Gates got involved in the kitchen and service). Met several old friends and acquaintances - Billy Cushley ( an accomplished musician who had played in several bands and a friend from Anahorish almost 70 years ago ) Colm Barton ( found out we share a dislike for cheese ) we attended New Row school together in the 50's and various others whose names I remembered but not much else.

Thursday 7th -  Day trip to Donegal with sister Mary & husband Mick - first time in Donegal since train journey in the 50's to Bundoran from Carrickmore. Went through Derry by road to Moville & Buncrana and returned by the ferry - weather was dull and occasionally damp.

 

 

 This is what was happening on this beach when we went.
