STARBUCKS , KILDARE , PILGRIMAGE

Hey :) had a great day 2 days ago we went on a pilgrimage to Kildare town :) We went here as we have been doing so much work on St.Brigid the patron saint of Kildare that the teachers shipped us off to Kildare and lets just say its a trip we won't forget .. First we went to the tourists office where we watched a short film on how St.Brigid made her mark on this historical town :) then we went to the church of Ireland cathedral , where close by we saw Brigids kitchen and a huge round tower :O after that we took a short walk to Starbucks where I freshened up with a tall hot chocolate extra cream ;) it was lovely and all the T.Ys chatted over everything :) then we visited Brigids first well where everyone blessed themselves with the water and prayed :) then after another long walk we came to an abrupt stop at a gorgeous garden :) there we could see the broth bride hanging off the trees and as we all gathered around there was a great sense of peace and calmness as we could hear the river flow :) On the bus home .,, it was quiet all the T.Ys were finally tired and speechless ! I slept well that night anyways :L

CORKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK :)

Hey Just heard the news this week that the drama we preformed in Mullingar got through to the finals :) tich miller was our play ! It is a play based on a poem highlighting the issue of a girl that gets bullied throughout her childhood . I was Tich and I am so proud of our whole group and how we pulled it together only days before the competition. The finals are on the 3rd of March and we are all so excited for it ! They are in Cork so hopefully we'll have some fun along the way too :) so now we've to work ten times harder because we want to do really well :€
