Bally in the 90th

Almost show day in Ballyconneely once again, photos; Pauric Conneely with his pony in 1992. Also Pauric's wife Mary 
in 1993. Both RIP. (c Willder collection)

                       Pauric( Padraig)  Conneely( related to my John Conneely )  and his wife Mary, who was Mickaêl's Mac D.'s niece . It was so nice to visit them when they were still living in their tiny thatched cottage on the hill . Padraig cut the scraw still insulating  our little cottage's roof and would deliver the turf for years, Mary was carrying buckets of water heavier than herself  but I never heard her complain. A great couple and such a good pair of friends .
