Note from New Zealand

What a pleasure this bright sunny Monday morning to open A Kilcullen Diary and see all those wonderful familiar faces, knowing that each would have been regaling the other with their own tales from the 70s and Dun Ailnne.

The photos from the Spring Equinox were a joy to behold and how fortunate we are to have such a talented artist as Noel Scullion to make this mark on posterity.

Thirty-eight years of The Bridge is no mean feat. I remember well going into Quinns after Mass to buy the papers and get the first copy of The Bridge -- well done to all.

Here in Christchurch, although the other side of the world, Kilcullen doesn't seem so far away with A Kilcullen Diary. Thank you.

Irene McDonnell.
