Goresbridge, Kilkenny is a great place to live. Kitty Donohoe

A long life in local business was heralded when Kitty Donohoe was named the recipient of the Kilkenny Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award for 2020.
Kitty is one incredible woman - I should know, as she is my mother in law! She also likes to remind me on occasion that she is the real Mrs Donohoe!
That’s Kitty; always a joker, always tongue-in-cheek, a woman with a big heart and a shrewd businesswoman.
Kitty was the driving force behind her family business, Goresbridge Horse Sales, which was started in 1968 by her husband, Ned. His untimely death in 1978 placed her, a non-horsey 42-year-old mother of nine children with another baby on the way, at the helm of what has become Europe’s largest auctionhouse of sport horses.

Willie Mullins admitted at Leopardstown on Tuesday that even he was surprised by how well his horses performed throughout the Christmas fixtures as the champion trainer sent out a four-timer on the day, bringing his festive period total to 16.
Away from the Grade 1 victories of Sharjah and Monkfish, it would have been the performance Concertista put up in the Grade 3 mares’ hurdle that would have given Mullins most satisfaction on the day.
An emphatic winner of the Mares’ Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham last season, Concertista brought her tally to two from two this term and did so in style, with Mullins revealing that a tilt at the Mares’ Hurdle at the festival was the most likely long-term target.
The L.A. Zoo and campgrounds are closed, playgrounds open.
Over the following weeks, as we traipsed through 100 museums, palaces, libraries and cathedrals, each stop pried open my mind a bit further. Travel had me. By the time we got back to California, I felt like a different person still pimpled and awkward, but now with a dash more savvy and emboldened curiosity, all invisible to the naked eye. And I understood that I would find no more entertaining way to be educated, no more educational way to be entertained.
Years after that initial voyage, when I saw a chance to earn a living by writing about travel, I didn’t hesitate.
