Greetings from Gilleleje, Denmark. Th...Dear Patrick<br />Greetings from Gilleleje, Denmark. Thank you for your article om Millstreet. Im 64 now and its 40 years and 5 days since I moved to Denmark. My great grandfather Tom Byrne (he was the lodgekeeper) is buried close to Drishane castle and my grandparents Denis and Molly Dennehy are buried in the town cemetary. I was a visitor to the town every summer all through my childhood. I loved the place. My brother and I had exclusive fishing rights to the 2 Drishane lakes, the second one is hard to get to. The nuns were lovely but I was always a bit frightened of them. Everybody was terrified of sister Aloysis, such a fantastic person but such a frightening driver. I went back a few times after coming to Denmark but it must be 20 years now. Im not sure Id be alive today if it wasnt for all the love I got from from grandparents, my uncle and all those wonderful people from the town. Millstreet will always be in my heart.<br />Kind regards<br />Allan DennehyAllan Dennehynoreply@blogger.com
