The
hunters came into McKeon’s Pub, one by
one, as they completed the hunt. We all had a
wonderful meal of recipes for St. Patrick's Day
with bacon and cabbage, mashed potatoes with
parsley sauce, carrots and a dinner roll. The
hunters were very hungry and thirsty and the
atmosphere was thick with talk of the day's events.
We enjoyed our day out and headed back to Mohill
to join our friends, the Casey’s, as,
sadly, that was our last night in Ireland. |

Sunday afternoon we were invited to a "dry
hunt" in Keshcarrigan, Co. Leitrim. A "dry
hunt" has replaced the fox hunt which
is no longer being done in Europe. We met John
Reynolds
and his wife, Shiela, there and had a pint
of Guinness while waiting for the hunters to
return.
John had invited us there because he was catering
the dinner afterwards.
