TIME JUST FLIES BY

Its nearly a week since i was last on,amazing really.When i was a lad time went slowly,very slowly.Now it flies past and things you were looking forward to become a distant memory,which i suppose is about all your left with in the end is memories.Thats what keeps you strong,good memories.I think in that respect i am lucky,i have great memories of many many great moments in my life and around my life.I will always strive to attend the things i love.One of the things i have loved since i was a small boy is National Hunt Racing or Steeplechasing as we paddies call it.Most of the people who would read this probably never even get to my page but future generations will and just in case they ever become so politically correct that they ban steeplechasing i am going to tell you where the name came from.It originated in Buttevant Co Cork in 1752 where two men had a wager on a horse race between the church steeple at Buttevant and the church steeple at Donerail 4 miles away.Now theres a little bit of history for you all.The reason for talking about this is Cheltenham is just around the corner.This is the biggest Irish race meeting held in England,well thats just a paddy joke really,but boats and planes will be leaving Ireland in a few weeks to head for one of the most beautiful areas i know,the Cotswolds,and the annual battle held over four day every year.Its a mighty occasion and hopefully i will get there on one day at least.My nap for the meeting will be short priced but it will win i hope,KASBAH BLISS.So there you have it see you soon
