Mixed weather, but a fun day

So it turned out a very Irish summer day weatherwise, writes Brian Byrne. Some rain, some wind, some dry, and even, in the end, some sunshine. But the show went on, and there was a constant stream into the Valley of hardy souls, young and older, who were well used to the uncertainty of the Irish climate.

They enjoyed the entertainment by Mr and Mrs Bubbles, Punch and Judy, magic, the free ice cream, and the face painting and storytelling. 

And the Duck Race went well, with none of the pack getting caught in the weeds this year. We'll post the names of the winners when we have them.
