Discover the Joy2slim method of weight loss

Thu, Sep 07, 2017

Human beings are naturally slim when they engage in the things they like doing for their own sake. Our digestive system has evolved over millions of years and it works perfectly well if we give it a chance. We have lost our habit, but not our ability, to eat correctly.

Mainguard Street

Thu, Sep 07, 2017

There was no problem parking on Mainguard Street when this turn of the century photograph was taken. The building to the right was O’Connor’s confectioners and tearooms. They obviously sold newspapers there as well and there was a rate collector’s office in part of the premises. The building was later taken over as a news agency by Mick Holland until it and several others along the street were destroyed in a disastrous fire in May 1967.

Week IV
If Sylvia Plath was hoping for some kind of reprochement between herself and her husband Ted Hughes during their stay with Richard Murphy at Cleggan, Co Galway, she was to be quickly disillusioned. In fact she would be abandoned, and plunged into despair.

Colours for Champions

Tue, Sep 05, 2017

At this stage of the week I hope the hangover has eased if you joined in the celebrations on Sunday – and Monday – and Tuesday….although I’m sure the sense of euphoria throughout the city and county will last a good while longer, and rightly so. As the champions prepare to return to their well-deserved welcome in the City of the Tribes, as well as towns and villages throughout Galway, the green-fingered might like to consider showing their appreciation in a horticultural way. After all, flags and banners in the county’s colours of maroon and white have fluttered from windows and decked our streets for weeks. Why not include our window boxes, hanging baskets, front gardens and even roundabouts – all areas where the hard working members of our Tidy Towns groups do so much to cheer up and beautify our streets for everyone’s benefit.

People of the Tribes: Meet Dave

Mon, Sep 04, 2017

I'm Dave, I tell everybody that I'm from Galway. I lived in the Renmore area as a child, but as the son of Hotel Manager's the family ended up in Killarney. I returned to go to College and have found it hard to stay away ever since. Galway has a unique spirit, there's a feeling in the air that's hard to describe but when you come back after time away you know that you have come home, I couldn't live anywhere else. I'm obsessed with History and the relics of the past, evidence of Medieval Galway can be seen at every turn. I'm an Antique dealer and my wife Victoria is a Knitwear designer we have a Crafts and Collectables shop in Corbett Court.
