Wedding in Cloonacauneen Castle!

After the Camp Claddagh gig I was straight out the N17 to the beautiful Cloonacauneen Castle, about 15-20 minutes from Galway, for Maria and Paul's wedding. It was a lovely sunny evening, and some of the guests I'd actually met in Galway years ago, as well as my friend Orla being one of the bridesmaids. Orla was responsible for painting practically everything in the Macnas Parade, which was the following day (well done Orla!)

For the record, the decking area in Cloonacauneen Castle looks like this:

Camp Claddagh- Chernobyl Children's Caricatures!

I was entering the (quite shy!) children in Galway as part of the Camp Claddagh Chernobyl's Children Project in the Rowing Club, Woodquay on Saturday. The were great craic, and I'd enough pidgen Russian after a few goes to make them laugh- the Russian for goodbye bears an uncanny resemblance to a clucking chicken for instance. At least to my monoglot ears!
They were great kids, constantly smiling, but at the same time the conditions they live in are appalling. I heard stories on Saturday that shook me. What the host families in Galway and around Ireland offer these children is a boost to their immune systems that adds years to their lives.

Camp Claddagh are looking for host families right now, if you're interested you can contact Camp Claddagh.
