I moved to just outside Ardee about seven years ago. Before that i lived in Crossmaglen Co. Armagh. The move was a big change for me as i had just started secondary school there and was just getting into the swing of things. It was the middle of August when we moved to Ardee for no particular reason other than my mam was from there. I knew no-one at first, but the other kids were eager to get to know us. Then came the first day of secondary school, i can remember it like it was yesterday. Luckily i had my cousin who was the same age as me so i had friends going into the school at least. Everything was so different compared to my old school, this one was a mixed school and might i say there was no control over us at times which was such a relief in a bad way though after coming from an all girls Grammar school run by nuns. I was in that school for five years and we had fun times. I wouldn't move back to Cross now even if i was paid to. I'm still a staunch Armagh supporter though.
