Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this sunny but changeable Tuesday morning.
The high winds and lashing rains in the latter days of last week put many homes, buildings and trees to the test, but thankfully apart from a few loose slates and broker bushes, we stood up quiet well to the test. And the milder temperatures made a welcome change from the sub-zero kind that we’d almost got used to.
Those of you who supported the Baby Jacob fund in the past should look up the Millstreet website and see the adorable little toddler taking his first steps.
