A very good Saturday morning to you all and we hope you can have a super weekend. Tickets are still available for our #Christmas Ceilidh next Saturday. If you’ve never been to one, why not give it a try? Anyone can do it and it’s great fun.

@mikegalsworthy.bsky.social thanks for the follow back, Mike. Keep up the good work. We desperately need more European cohesion very soon. And the government need to stop shying away from the subject. ✌️

@sensesforever.bsky.social nice sounds, thanks for the follow. 😊😊
