Caroline Rigney, a renowned Co. Limerick farmer took time out to attend Pendulum Summit in January – and then to have “Coffee with Colm”.   From pigs breaking through fences, to packaging delicious pork and bacon product for fans nationwide, to Killaloe Farmer’s Market, to forgiving ourselves and our parents, to letting go of the past, and embracing the present with one eye on the future, I had the most enjoyable coffee chat with Caroline Rigney.   I know Caroline and Joe Rigney, primarily because myself and Mrs. O’B are regular imbibers of their delicious (no, seriously!) fresh food at Killaloe Farmer’s Market of a Sunday.   They are a class act and to watch them work in harmony is always a treat. You join the queue (always a queue – which tells you something) and watch Caroline interact with her regulars, as she effortlessly relieves them of a few bob, while Joe cooks away in the background, turning to the front to ask, “Salad, tomato and onion with that?” during which time Caroline has moved on to take another order. Poetry in motion!   So, I was delighted when Caroline decided to join our little group of Vagabonds to attend Pendulum Summit in January.   We finally got a chance to grab a virtual coffee together and have the chats. It was fabulous, very real, totally life-affirming.   Stick on the kettle, grab a coffee, and think alongside Caroline (and Joe popped in for a sec, too) and me for a few minutes; you’ll fall in love with the Rigneys…   Enjoy...
