Was in time for Mass this morning. After breakfast Timmie got a bicycle, I got Fr. Pat’s, and we went off to see Togher Castle. It was a pretty long spin, but we had blackberries on the way. It is a fine castle, but all barred up. I climbed to a window in the second floor by means of ivy, but could not get down, so I had to repeat my perilous descent. After dinner we went rabbitting with Cora and Sandie but we only started 3, and missed them. Went to Confession after tea and we had great fun because Tim was trying to make me go into Fr. Pat’s box by telling me the wrong one. Finally I went to Fr. Carmody. Then had a spin on Timmie’s horse, and Denis took me up behind him and we had a delightful gallop. I can’t ride bare-backed at all after being used to riding Griasach (Markie’s horse) with the saddle.
