Thank you
Message from Margaret and the Hamper packers
Thank you everyone for the generous supply of food stuffs and clothing donated to the above Christmas appeal
We made up 20 Hampers for the homeless on the street. The excess food items, and beautiful knitted hats, scarfs and other clothing went to St Vincents Hostel and Edel House. Most items were delivered before the Christmas.
Money collected will buy shoes, tracksuits and towels as well as other items still needed in this wet cold season.
A bit of joy to the homeless on the street and both Charities look forward to us coming each year.
Big thanks also to the collection points, O’Regans Mill and Educare centre, Boherbue
On the evening of New Year’s Day 2025 the rare sight of the Northern Lights could be seen over Millstreet. Here we share four images which I captured on mobile phone (using night mode) as viewed from Mount Leader Estate at 6.45pm on 1st January 2025. Tap on the images to enlarge. We thank Journalist, Jack Joy for the uplifting report: https://www.independent.ie/regionals/cork/news/north-cork-man-captures-beautiful-hues-of-northern-lights-in-sky-above-hometown/a1027342305.html (S.R.)
