It is now time to get the ball rolling again for our senior members of society. Yes! let us open the front door, back door and windows of our houses and let the fresh air not only fill all the rooms of the house but blow away the cobwebs that gather in both our lungs and our brains during that never to be mention ed word again. The (-)you know what I am talking about, and if you don’t? was the weather nice on the Mars for the past 24 months.
All joking aside it is time to head back out to meet our friends and families. Time to look to those lovely walks we spoke about a few editions back. The Castle park, Jenkins town wood, and down by the lovely easy flowing river Nore as she flows majestically through the marble city as it heads on down to the sea and join her two sister rivers, The Barrow and the Suir. Before these three ladies of Slieve na Mbhan meander into the Irish Sea through Waterford harbor. To really get the fresh air into those lungs a nice brisk walk on the golden sand of Tra – mor or Tramore as the tide heads out in to the same outlet of the three sisters and in to what some refer to as the Celtic Sea. A sea where many a trawler fished for the shoals of herring that the Clancy Brothers sang about from their home on Bridge street in Carrig on Suir.
The great outdoors is calling and it is up to us all to answer mother natures call.
