It was an honour to welcome Ambassador Martin Fraser & Embassy staff to Coventry.
The Ambassador took time to meet with so many people from our community & opened our new library named after Mo Mowlam.
⏰The clocks go back one hour tonight.
We’re delighted to share our next set of #GaeilgeOnTheGo #Irishlanguage flashcards, with useful vocab relating to night-time.
A lovely way to practise a little bit of An Ghaeilge while the seasons change!

'Barmbrack' is borrowed from the Irish 'bairín breac' meaning speckled loaf. This was a traditional bread eaten at Halloween (Oíche Shamhna, an Irish festival - not USA) when turnips were carved to scare off evil spirits. ❤️
