  When Darkness Falls is a play , that if written in the 1950s would have toured in rep around Yorkshire for most of 1957. It wasn’t dreadful  It was just static, slightly boring and remarkably not scary. Ok the one big scare moment was foiled by a man on our row ,getting twenty people up to go to the toilet ,but having said this , I was bored silly. . But it was nice to go out though. I enjoyed the event. One of my besties was seeing the revival of   Oklahoma   in London last night  ….wish I was there lol I’m on three 12.5 hour days shifts now ( don’t ask )  Blogs will be short xxx from Going Gently https://ift.tt/ciLWo8n

I need to get out tonight and can’t always rely on the company of friends. I will leave you with the above song  by Nov...

Over on the west coast of Ireland my late brother Paul had two sons with his wife Josephine. Above you can see Paul's youngest son Kevin with his new baby boy - Finn who was born this very month. I love the look on Kevin's face. It seems to be saying, "I love you Finn and I will guide you and watch you grow and get money to feed you and keep a roof over your head and be the very best father I can be to you. Thank you for your arrival this very day. You are already beginning to enrich my life." Of course Kevin's girlfriend Serena had a small part to play in making Finn happen. It is a shame that he came into our world almost thirteen years after Paul's untimely death. Paul would have loved his first grandson with all of his heart, perhaps playing tunes on his fiddle to send the little man to sleep.  Here's Paul's older son Michael holding his brand new nephew:- Michael  and Kevin were born within eighteen months of each other and remain very ...
