Nollaig Shona’s 1st Birthday
Nollaig Shona, the Christmas resources website from Seomra Ranga, celebrated its first birthday this week. I spent many months during 2011 making preparations to launch the new site.

It’s so difficult to find any Gaeilge apps on the market, so to find two new apps released within days of each other is remarkable.
