Photo was taken yesterday outside Bandon Garden Centre, Co.Cork (Irl)

Their moment has arrived and daffodils are in full bloom everywhere. This old horse cart has found a new lease of life in Bandon.

Thought on Monday – February – 27/02/2012

On a visit to Teach Altra Nursing Home in Newmarket yesterday, I came across the following lovely few verses up on a wall called ‘A Golden Prayer’

Blessed are they who bring back memories of yesterday.
Blessed are they who understand my faltering steps and shaky hand.
Blessed are they who know that my ears today must strain to catch the things they say.
Blessed are they who seem to know that my eyes are dim and wits are slow.
Blessed are they who looked away when the cup spilled at my table today.
Blessed are they with a cheery smile who stop to chat for a little while.
Blessed are they who never say: “You’ve told the story twice today”.
Blessed are they who make it known that I am loved, respected and not alone.
Blessed are they who know I am at a loss to find the strength to carry my cross.
Blessed are they who in loving ways ease the days on my journey home.
