HAPPY EASTER

EASTER GREETINGS

Thought that I should put on a short post to say Happy Easter to all of you out there in Blog city in Internet world, hope you all enjoy your long weekend. If you are out and about in Paisley tomorrow and looking for something to do the weather is supposed to be excellent why not try going to Barshaw park and rolling your eggs down the hill, sounds corny I know but it is a lot of fun.

What ever you do enjoy yourselves.

TANNAHILL LIGHTS

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

Saturday morning, Tannahill Centre in Ferguslie, in Paisley, my dad is the Local Councillor and was invited to the switching on of the Centre's Christmas lights. Wendy Alexander local Labour MSP was also there, also present were Santa's elves (so cute!) and one local activist dressed as a Christmas Tree (see the photo below). As usual I became my dad's official photographer for the afternoon, and I was glad to do it.

Wendy Alexander kicked off the celebrations by switching on the Christmas lights after the obligatory countdown which the kids loved! After this Santa arrived in a vintage car to everyone's surprise!

The elves helped him distribute presents to the local kids. It was a great day and although I was only able to stick around for an hour or so I really enjoyed the day. Check out my dad's website for the whole story!

SHELTER'S CHRISTMAS APPEAL

CAROL SERVICE


I thought that I would let you all know about Shelter's Christmas appeal, so follow the link above to find out more information and find out how to make a much needed donation. I do believe that the Scottish Executive and the Westminster Government are doing a lot to help the homeless, but there is more to be done. Charities like Shelter are doing an excellent job of not only providing for those who are homeless but keeping the issue in the public eye.


This year my local parish are doing a special carol service for Shelter and donations (voluntary of course) will be gratefully received. The carol's we sing at Christmas are about Jesus birth but they are also in someway at least about homelessness, he had no where but a stable! So if you are interested the Church is St James Catholic Church, Paisley, come along and join in. The service starts at half eight on Sunday the 24th of December hope to see you there.

Merry Christmas to you all.
