Symba goes on another Adventure

 Symba and The Woodpecker of Lis na Grá is the second children's book by local author Georgie Rehill. Symba and The Fairies of Inch Island was Georgie's first book and she launched that just over 18 months ago. Symba was the beloved dog of Georgie and she wrote the first story for her two nieces. Since that first publication, Symba sadly passed away. But Georgie has found a way to keep her beloved pet alive, through stories.

This new adventure sees Symba exploring the local forest here in Muff, Lis na Grá. She goes off in search of her friend Winnie after a noisy mis-understanding. The story takes us through the woods and the encounters Symba has there. 

Symba herself narrates the story and she takes us through the beautiful woods and all that we find there amidst the natural world. There is learning within these pages and there is beautiful language. It's a story of friendship, nature, one of fun and it also mentions the now infamous 'Muff Feile'. 

Above all else it allows this beautiful dog to capture our hearts even after she's gone. Symba is definitely a story for children and encourages them to consider the world of nature and of friendship. But it's also very much a story for the adult world too - reminding us to appreciate the natural world around us and to never forget the importance of friendship regardless of age.

Georgie will capture your heart with this second adventure of Symba and I do hope she's preparing more adventures to come. 

Congrats Georgie and I wish you every success with this new book.

Details of where the book can be bought will be on 'Adventures of Symba' facebook page very soon. Do pick up a copy when you can.

Point Coffee opens this coming Tuesday in QP

  Earlier today the new coffee shop in Quigley’s Point welcomed some family and friends for a taster and viewing of the new premises. It was a delight to be part of that taster and welcome. Although very much settled in Muff, I am and will always be a Quigley's Point gal at heart, so this coffee shop is a special one for myself here at Craic On Muff.  Point Coffee is due to open its doors to the public on Tuesday 21 st July at 7am. It will allow the village of Quigley’s Point and those passing by to fuel up on coffee at dawn, and be fully awake come the morning rush hour of work, family, and day-to-day life. Being the first coffee shop in Quigley’s Point there is undoubtedly much excitement about this opening. Local business, neighbours and friends all popped in today for a nosey. And no one was disappointed. You will find a lovely seating area within. As all is new it’s got that lovely newness feel to it, and yet the smell of coffee makes it feel homely. You will find...

Christmas Dance at Muff Community Hall with Shunie Crampsey

 There really is something magical watching people dancing. From contemporary songs to the very traditional 'Shoe the Donkey', it was all things dancing this Sunday night. The people of Muff and far beyond showcased true magic on the dancefloor tonight at St. Mary's Hall here in the village.  Shunie Crampsey has been providing the music and song here in the community hall monthly for the past 18+ months. Tonight was the Christmas dance and it showcased the importance of music and dance for the soul. People coming together to sit and listen, to get up and dance, to just talk. And a fabulous supper was enjoyed by all, catered by The Cabin.  Events like this show what community is all about. And the community within the village hall tonight felt very strong and very festive. People came from all over Inishowen and Derry to enjoy the dance. And no doubt will return in the future to do likewise. Huge thanks must go to all the members of Muff hall who work hard behind the scene...

Happy Birthday Tank & Skinny's

  The first coffee shop in Muff was a pop-up for ‘one day only’ at McColgans Butchers . Myself Gráinne McCool, and Teresa Cregan, had talked often about the need for a coffee shop in the village. Local butcher Thomas suggested we come into his shop one day and he’d show us a coffee shop – and he did. True to his word, on January 29 th 2014, over two years before Edward and Shane had the idea (just saying lads), Thomas brought some fresh scone, butter and jam, and made myself and Teresa coffee, (wee drop of whiskey too) in his butcher shop. He had the chairs for us also. That day, Teresa, myself, Thomas and Connor talked about the need for a coffee shop in the village. We knew back then that it was just what Muff needed. So, we were the first crew to get excited when the news broke that two brothers from the Buncrana area were opening a coffee shop in Muff. Many folk said it would never work. Ah ha, but we knew better. When Tank & Skinny’s opened those doors on Friday 31...
