A week ago when I resumed blogging I expressed the hope that it would enable me to achieve a total of over 50,000 views for my pages. That target has now been passed, thanks to your support. Please keep on reading. I have a few more articles to add on Private Robert Hamilton from Ballinode, County Monaghan, and these will appear in the next few days.

The beautiful view that I use as the background for FisherBelfast’s Blog (see above) is of a lake: in this case Emy Lough outside Emyvale in County Monaghan. I went there to do the walk around the Lough at the weekend and took some new photographs, which I will share with you later on these pages. A beautiful spot and congratulations to the team of volunteers from Donagh Development Association which ensures the walkway is kept in tidy and good condition. The next big event there will be the Christmas Day swim for a local charity. Please  note the newly installed donation box is cleared regularly.
