Just back from a short stay in An Grianán is Craft Officer Patricia Cronin from Feenagh ICA.There she was joined by members of North Dublin guilds together with members of our sister organisation the W.I. from Antrim. This time she was brushing up on her cookery, no doubt in preparation for that special surprise Valentine meal in Kilmurry at the weekend.
