    That's rubbish news, Dove.  So sorry for him - and for you, worrying on his behalf.

    Just back from a productive meeting of the Park volunteers.  We've got a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund of £90,000 to improve our park (making new paths, seating areas, opening up views, doing archaeology etc), and are at last allowed to make it public.  image

    It'll be great to make proper progress after all the trouble we've had with disease and flooding.

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    A worthwhile amount of money to be getting on with Liri  although it wont cover all the costs image

    You will all get great satisfaction from the work you are doing and the park users will enjoy the improvements.

    Liri - that's brilliant news ... So pleased for you allimage

    It seems there's always a crisis before our holiday - last year we had niece living with us and Ma died. 

    Maybe we shouldn't book holidays ...

    Dove, if you didn't book holiday, we'd not get to see you both. image

    Aunty Rach. I think the days of being paid extra for Sundays and BH have now gone, well, in retail at least.

    we couldn't let that happen could we? We'll just have to keep booking holidays and putting up with thd crises... Even if we have a few sleepless nights image

    Morning Dove.  Too much on your mind just now ((hugs))

    Hope you get some more sleep.
