Early in January we met a nice American couple named Sherry and John who were staying in the very nice Golden Wells close to Chedi View. They were here for two weeks so they joined us many times on outings.
Sadly January brought the deaths of two wonderful women in Ireland. One of them was Joan Crowley, the patient great woman owner of Crowleys Pub in Kenmare which hosted some of the best musicians in the country and whose hospitality was unbounded . Joan was a great fiddle player herself. Thankfully her son Peter carries on the fine tradition. The other very sad death was the passing of a strong, witty, courageous, great woman named Veronica Steele who founded Milleens Cheese down on the Beara Peninsula many years ago and received many awards for it's excellence. She always had a twinkle in her bright eyes and was terrific company
