By Eithne Cullen Welcome to March’s Thoughtful Tuesday page. If you read my page in February, you’ll remember it was all about beginnings. So, in keeping with our theme of Beginnings And Endings, I’m using today’s page to share some endings. They cover endings of places that meant a lot, a ...

Thoughtful Tuesdays: Romantic Beginnings

By Eithne Cullen The theme of beginnings and endings carries on in our pages for the start of 2024 and, with St Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought I’d have a look at some beginnings which tie in with February’s romantic theme. If, like me, you watched the rom-com The Holiday this Christmas, ...
