Last weekend, a team of 30+ locals came down to the river for sausages and willow cutting. Finally, the floods were gone and there was a bit of warmth in the air! We made the most of it...

It was the best day of the year so far! Thanks to the many hands that pitched in, we got all the willow cut in under an hour. Fantastic work and great fun too. The willow will be sold to Colin McAteer at www.greencoffinsireland.com, where it will be made into beautiful willow coffins.
