The Latin School, Moyne

You exiles abroad will be happy to know that Longford is holding its 75th Annual Ploughing championship in South Longford on Easter Sunday.Many of you have had a hand on the plough in the past and now continue to furrow the soil of mother Earth within the domain of your existence . Where that maybe you can only tell . Do it through the website.The Late great scholar of Molly wrote about McKeon’s Forge. Fr Frank Kelly ….”.I have a particular memory of a laborious practise that marked the spring time in the forge each year-the practise of sledging the coulters in preparation for the new season’s ploughing…tales of prowess with horse and plough,of good and bad poughmen-one so bad that he earned the unenviable title of Larry crooked ridges.Ploughing was an art form for him and he gloried in the finished product”.Sadly Fr Frank is no longer with us as his name is in the book of life with his beloved teacher Anna Daly(Macnerney)and others well known among the Saints. Log on to N.P.A website for more. I was talking to Barney Cully recently and I want you to sample his plain loaf and tell me or better still the whole world what you think. I would walk from the latin to Arva for it.
