GALWAY DAY 2

It's down and dirty today!

Aah if only you’d been there. If only I had been there! A minute’s stillness for Edward O’ Grady as a dark cloud loured over Ballybrit, before I’m told the unveiling of the new Beauty Paddock. My mind ran riot, and I have met enough Irish girls over the years to know that I have a particular weakness for a raven haired girl from Kilkenny. Truth be known, I am not actually that county-specific, I just love Irish girls. But no, the Beauty Paddock seems to be a pop-up for Vision Ireland, a charity that fund raises via the sales of “a curated range of pre-loved and premium donated and designer stock”. (It flogs second-hand and last season’s clothes). Everything else was pretty well as normal, including our tipping, which was close, but no bananas.

Anyway onto Day 2….
