Another brilliant and vivid recollection, Oliver. Many thanks!
It may have been a bit before my time in Castlebar, but reading your words brought the day alive for me.
Not only could I could see the activity, I could hear and smell it.
By the way, I often wondered who made that mark on the convent wall!
