That must have been an odd feeling, having a whole town grow around you like that. I guess your surroundings must have been changing all the time. I'm not sure I would have liked that, but I guess it would have given Joe the opportunity to go into business with the shop?

Morning Jackie

Do you know, you are spot on and I'm so damned grateful.

My Granny still zips up my Aunt's coat when she leaves her house and she's 71. Suppose we never stop being a Mammy.

Must away and get some grub - something with eggs I think - fridgeful of them!!

Oh...Joe's shop isn't/wasn't in Balbriggan then?

I must disappear too. Off to the bank to pay some bills. Laters.

Morning folks, just heading on my way out the door to work and face the day head on. Having a few quiet reflective moments whilst looking out at the snowscape on the trees and hills beyond, it really is quite beautiful. Just fed the birds and the robin is first to the table. Moody blues playing in the background, ah bliss, simple pleasures eh, wanted to share a little of my morning

Hi Molly yes my eyes and nose have healed well now tg no brusing or scaring. I never had a guina pig or any simlar animal and they only live between 4 and 8 years. I guess i'm looking for new hobbies and interests. I want to swimming in our local pool when the weather gets milder.
