Bloomsday was celebrated (safely) in Bettystown on June 16th by Tony Weldon with a group of friends.
Bloodsday celebrates the life and writings of James Joyce drawing on events described in his book Ulysses set in Dublin in the day of June 16th 1904 See www.bloomsdayfestival.ie/
One of the hallmark fancy dress items of Bloomsday is the straw boater hat Tony has a lifelong interest in Joyce having participated in films shot in Ireland. Here are a few photos from the occasion, taken by Adrian Parkinson
