THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses.
COVID 19.
As you all know by now, we are in Level 3 of this Covid 19 virus. It just means for most of us is that we continue with our usual daily handwash and sanitiser. Be extra careful if you have to go out shopping etc.to keep your distance We all need to be extra careful if we allow people in our homes and when we are outside that we keep our social distance and always wear our masks or visors. We all must protect ourselves and do our best to keep away from those stupid people who don’t and won’t follow the rules set out by our government. Keep safe.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE 25?
The new government ruling on having only 25 at your loved one’s funeral is unbelievable. You are trying to organise the coffin, mass and burial and now decide on 25 people. Most families have more that 25 people, so how can you choose? You really can’s and good luck to those of you who have that to do this.

new project that will benefit our local wild species and habitats. Funded by the EU LEADER programme “The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development: Europe investing in rural areas” (Grant no: MEA111477) and supported by the Meath Local Action Group, Sonairte have commissioned a Local Biodiversity Action Plan for this part of East Meath, encompassing the area between the River Nanny and River Boyne, and bordered to the west by the M50 motorway. We will be looking at how our natural and built areas may be managed in order to maximise their value for wildlife and biodiversity. We have just commenced consultation on this project and we would love to hear from residents, landowners, business owners and anyone who cares about our local landscapes and biodiversity. A link to an online survey is available here: https:// surveyhero.com/c/607b274d
Paper questionnaire surveys will also be available at Sonairte Eco Shop and local Community Centres. The deadline for completion is the 19th of October 2020. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
