A very warm welcome to our 2nd years in The Larches Finney on a cold and hail-showery day last Thursday. Hot soup, brown bread, tea and coffee, all went down well. Thanks to Eithne, Amantine and Stephen there (and Padraig, directing operations from Rome).
We got the sun for the visit to McGraths Limestone Cong Ltd later on though., Thanks to Declan, Nicky and Mary for the tour.
Both venues in the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark Project
