The weather was gorgeous for the five days we spent there and the kids enjoyed their first expe rience of pitch and putt and playing tennis. The real highlight each day was a trip into old children. It was also possible to take a boat trip up Lough Eme and this was beautiful. However the strongest memory 1 hold is of the warmth of the people we encountered -- the shop assistants, the people in the restaurants and hotels, and most especially the other parents who played in the park. They chatted and laughed and really wel comed us to their home town. It was a great break away, it didn't take too long to get there, and we all felt that we had had a holiday.
