___________________________________________

"Come with me on a bright May morn
Through bridal hedgerows of white Hawthorn
Chorus of songbirds fill the air
Perfume of lilac everywhere
Swans with mates glide peacefully past
Can any joy in the world surpass
The fairest gem in Carlow's crown
A walk by the Barrow in Bagenalstown"
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
