AS SUMMER FADES

I’ve packed away the blithesome things of summer
The pink and navy pants, the buckskin shoes
The scented leaf I picked up in Killiney
The menu cards, the camera and the views

But when again spring steals amongst the by-ways
And celandine and primrose will appear
With travel pass in hand I’ll head for Dublin
And call to you from gate
“I’m here, I’m here!”


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.
