Hello out there!

Quite apart from our substantial — and rapidly growing — local readership, the Diary is attracting a significant number of people regularly checking in from abroad.

The Editor is aware of readers in Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, several parts of the US including New Jersey and California, closer to home in Holland, Norway, Belgium, Jersey and the UK, among other places.

It's not required, of course, but it would be nice if some of you would like to email in a bit about where you are and what you're doing and what is your Kilcullen connection?

Feel free, even, to send greetings, birthday wishes, and any other messages to the folks or friends back home here in Kilcullen. Pictures are also welcome, emailed as jpegs.

That's one of the nice things about the internet. It is a two-way medium. Let's hear from you.

— Brian Byrne.
