Meet the Kilkenny Roses! Part 1

I love my job and all the people I work with. No day is the same and I have a great laugh with the residents. I grew up in the countryside about 15 kilometres from Kilkenny City. I like to travel and have been many places. I’ve been inside the pyramids in Egypt, France, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Italy and more. Before Covid I went on a trip along the West Coast of America.
