Day Five
Nuala,
Your generosity knows no bounds. Five gold rings !
When the parcel arrived I was scared stiff that it might be more birds, because the smell in the living-room is atrocious.
However, I don't want to seem ungrateful for the beautiful rings!
Your affectionate friend, Gobnait
(Christmas Countdown, 1982)
The song 'Twelve Days of Christmas' is an English Christmas carol first published in 1780 in England.
The standard tune now associated with the song is derived from a 1909 arrangement of a traditional folk melody by English composer Frederic Austin.
In 1982, actor Frank Kelly released a single 'Christmas Countdown', which was a comedy song based on the well-known carol. The song reached number 8 in the Irish charts.
The Cache
The cache is hidden in Shanganagh Park, not too far from the dog park. Please be stealthy here, as you're near the trail! Don't forget to bring a pen!
