“A New Year’s Day walk in Mayo. It was taken on the dunes at Bertra Beach in Westport Co Mayo. The people in it are two locals Laura and Becky, and two Dubs Rachel and Mark who were up visiting for New Year’s Eve. The reason they are in the dunes is because the tide was so high there was no beach. It was taken at dusk on the 1st by myself, another Dub.”

There’s a pair of them in it.

Lorna Tuohy writes:

“My family live just outside Castlebar, Co. Mayo and our two beloved dogs have been missing since Saturday morning 26th October.”

“Cassie, (the brown collie cross) is too smart for her own good as she opened the garage door and let herself out! Nero (a springer/collie cross) idolises her. The pair are inseparable, and one won’t come home without the other.”

“They are likely to be scared, hungry, tired and cold so may be reluctant to come to you if you happen across them. We are desperate to get them home so if you do see them please contact me via broadsheet. Thanks”

 

Anyone?

Castlebar Lyons ClubMustapha Aboubi, pictured with his wife Patricia above, who owns the Olive Tree restaurant in Castlebar, Co. Mayo, is making an appeal to people to donate Winter clothes for Syrian refugees.

The Mayo News reports:

“A supporter of the humanitarian aid group, Human Appeal International, Mr Mustapha, a native of Algeria, plans to travel to a Turkish refugee camp in Hatay in early December with journalists and volunteers.
“We hope to send a container full of warm clothes, blankets, gloves, scarves and hats before then. This is a humanitarian appeal for a population that is in crisis. These people were forced to leave all their possessions behind and flee. Can you imagine what that is like?” Mustapha Aboubi said yesterday.
Many of these families are facing their third winter dispossessed and in freezing conditions. The campaign ends on Monday next, September 30.”

Oh these boys will look fierce sharp
Lining up for Micheal D
Vaughan’s lovely socks
And the legs on Micky C
Sure at this stage these lads
Could change water into wine
And we’ll all be raising a glass
In Mayo this time!!

Or you Mayo not.
