Re: Just curious - anyone in the County Roscommon area

We have moved back after 25 years in the US: Silicon Valley, Hawaii and Pasadena (LA)

Once I am up and running and fully settled in I'll send you a PM if that is OK and we could meet up.

All the best,
Jimmy

Re: Just curious - anyone in the County Roscommon area
