Visit to Temple House, Ballymote
On 11th April 2013, a busload of Erne U3A members arrived at Temple House, Ballymote to explore the partly-restored home of the Percivals. It was most interesting to see the excellent work already done and to witness the massive task ahead. Roderick and his wife showed us around and later ensured we had a most pleasant lunch.
We then went to Sligo, where we enjoyed pottering around this busy town, with its lots of shops and three museums/galleries before boarding the bus for home.
A most enjoyable day out thanks once more to Pat and Maureen.
