Saying 'hi' to Frances

While on a trip recently to New York with my fiancé Karen O'Sullivan we called into Rosie O'Gradys bar off Time Square to catch up with local woman Frances Brennan who left for America some years ago. It would be a pity to come this far and not say hello.
When she came to take my order at the bar I just told her that everyone in Kilcullen says "Hello", only then did she realise who it was. We had a chat and shared some news about home and life in the Big Apple. I have to admit I would love to trade places with her because I think New York is a wonderful place but I suppose it can get quite lonely too so far away from family and home.

Frances gets visitors regularly from home and she told me that we had only just missed some family and friends that had been over. The photo I attached was taken in Rosie O'Gradys and I promised her that I would try and get it on your web site so she can see it and catch up with local news. I would be grateful if you could include this in your news.
Regards, Stephen Byrne.
