Thanks for your help and continuing generosity! Any tax repaid by Revenue goes to Parish Funds and not to the priests. Our local Food - Stores have served us well during the unexpectedly bad weather ~ when travel was not possible. We should support them coming up to Christmas and during the time ahead, so that they will be there for us all in the future. They need some regular support at least from all of us! Patience is something YOU admire in the driver behind YOU but not in the one ahead. My Boy, said the wealthy man, when I wasyour ageI used to carry bricks for bricklayers. I'm mighty proud of you Dad, said the son, If it hadn't been for your perseverance I might have had to do something like that myself!
