Spring is here or on the way depending on whether you go by the Equinox (20th March) or if you believe that it starts on 1st February, St Brigid’s Day. An Taisce would have us believe that Spring starts at the beginning of April when their National Spring Clean commences. They are encouraging clean-ups throughout April by schools, business people and the general public. More information about this can be obtained from the National Spring Clean Manager, An Taisce, Swift’s Alley, Dublin 8 (Tel: 4002220/email:nsc@antaisce.org). Everyone who registers gets a free pack with materials and information. If you do get involved let us know and we will cover it in the next issue in April. The Fontenoy Files are missing for the first time in many years from our pages today. Because of pressure of work, Shay just wasn’t able to do it for us. Hope this will be sorted out for the next issue. Despite the talk of spring, it still feels like winter to me and I keep wishing I could see the blue skies of Gran Canaria again. Elsewhere we have articles about the joys of a walk in Killiney, the blossoms of cherry trees and Saoirse’s piece on life in France (page 20). We hope that this edition of ‘NewsFour’ will brush away the winter blues and warm the cockles of your heart! The number of letters we receive from readers keeps increasing. We love to receive them so please do keep writing to us at 15 Fitzwilliam Street, Ringsend, Dublin 4 or email: newsfourscs@eircom.net. Our advertisers,
as usual, have been very generous and we want you all to know how
much your support is appreciated. Ann Ingle |
