Serious rain out there as we go to press!
Still we must count our blessings here in Lucan.
The weir in Lucan Demesne was a spectacular sight this week. Doubt anyone would go hopping along the top of it these days!
St. Mary's Camera Soiree have their exhibition in Lucan Library from Monday 9th February. Do drop in if you missed the event in the Parish Centre last November.
You won't be disappointed!
Joy for some of the Dubs last weekend! The Hurlers had a win, but both the Ladies and Mens Footballers were on the losing side.
We live in hope!
6 Nations underway for 2026 - Ireland take on France as we go to press. Looking forward to an exciting game ....
Better baton down the hatches first, though!
St. Mary's Camera Soiree
The members of the Camera Soiree this weekend have mounted the selection of photographs that will form their exhibition in Lucan Library from 9th February to 9th March 2026.
There was another full moon on Sunday 1st February and Joe, Kay and Frances submitted photos of the moon over Lucan. This was the second full moon of 13 that will occur this year and it is known as the Snow Moon. As I said previously many of the Moon's nicknames have come to us from Native American culture reflecting the importance of the cycles of the lunar phases for their way of life. The next full moon will be on 3rd March.
Don sent in two more photos from Kerry, Little Samphire lighthouse which has served as a navigation light for Tralee Bay since 1854 and a waterfall in the Conor Pass which is one of the highest mountain passes in Ireland served by an asphalted road.
Anna sent in a photo of Ely's Arch which today is located between Dodder Park Road and Braemor Road. Ely Arch was originally built between 1769 and 1779 in the form of a Roman triumphal arch as an entrance to Rathfarnham Castle. Anna recalls herself and her friends, roller skating around the Arch when she was young and when there was no traffic. She says that they called it the Arc de Triumph and thought that they were very sophisticated. Those were the days!
Stay safe until next week!
