Hello Again,
Well I’m late again with my newsletter – the first two months of 2015 have raced by and Spring is on its way with snowdrops appearing everywhere. I will be more punctual in future!
I was recently speaking to 5th and 6th class of Tinahely National School, they asked me wonderful and very intelligent questions, about the shop and setting it up. Watch out Tinahely a great group of kids are on the way. Well done to them all in their mini company.
Lots happening down in the Farm Shop & Country store, new products and new designs are now in stock. Philip and I both attended Show case in the RDS and we bought some wonderful Irish designers back to the farm shop.
