Members of Mayfield Harrier club let their hounds go over the weekend to raise money for Marymount Hospice. These dogs are currently in training for the main season which begins in March. These dogs follow an artificial scent cross country. These dogs don’t chase foxes or rabbits but simply follow the scent over a few miles. The first dog home is the winner and as you can imagine these dogs are super fit.


This week will see the new changes to www.2u.ie kicking in. Thanks for all your feedback. We hope you will like these final changes to the website. Friday (Feb 1st) is our target day but we may even have the changes a day or two sooner. One important change will be the colour. The black darkground will be changing to more softer colours. Thank you for taking the time to email your feedback. It is appreciated.

Thought For Today is below

‘Paradox is everywhere: Sometimes the things you think will make you happy end up saddening you and sometimes the very thing that breaks your heart is also the thing that opens it to warmth and gratitude.’ ~Ronald Ronheiser


Life can never be described as predictable and boring. So much can happen in a week, a day, even in a few minutes. There are so many twists and turns in life. If we are happy with our lot and with what we’re doing then we should be grateful. It too can change. Taking for granted what we have, sets up to loose it when we least expect. It is comforting to know that sadness too has a turning point. Sadness is not always something negative or to be avoided. We know that God is very much in touch with our sadness and joy. All of scripture reminds us that sadness does have a turning point. Sometimes we have to wait patiently to know when the tide has turned.
