A great morning of work litter picking all over town and preparing for spring growth in the long riverside bed at Rushbrooke clearing all the cuttings of last years growth. Great lifting by our TY Gaisce students. Do you remember when we planted this in 2012? A pollinator haven that has been added to over the years and now ready for 2023 glory. Thanks everyone. A cuppa &amp; chat after and talk of our plans for St Patrick’s Day Parade! Never a dull moment in Tidy Towns! Thanks to Toddy Stafford and team for their work this morning taking down Cobh’s beautiful Christmas lights.&nbsp;
<h2>USA TRIP</h2>

&nbsp;I have been going to the USA every January for the past 20 years or so for the Carlow College re-union apart from 2021
I Arrived in Boston at 4pm local time on Friday after a very pleasant flight got a good meal.Joe Brice was outside the terminal when I got out he was able to track the flight. When he left Chelmsford it began to snow the first snow here since last March. The recent New York storm luckily passed them by. It took most of an hour get back and just in time to capture the winter scene and the house before all the decorations were taken down. Great to be back here after April when I was here for the Boston Marathon. Joe was the first athlete of the 25 i was involved with, that got athletics scholarships, he is here 47 years and interestingly his niece Una is coming here for pole vault to the university of Lowell on scholarship as well. Let's not forget his daughter Patricia who competed for the university up to National level and was an All American twice. Not forgetting Joe who got 4 All American awards during his 4 years in University here. Thats a huge achievement you have to finish in the top 8 in your event at National level and America is a very big place
IN PRAISE OF SHANNON AIRPORT
.What na amazing experience for an airport compared to Dublin and even Cork. Got my boarding pass in a few ministries. Not one person in front of me at security. No case or bag opened not even a bottle of water taken. First time experiencing the new scanner no bleep going off for hips. Less than a minute to go through pre clearance. Just looked at ESTA document. Not a mention of Covid.&nbsp;
&nbsp;What more could you ask for.
