As some of you know, Billen Cliffs solar community, comprising about 100 homes, sits above us. An ex student of mine, Anton, who I taught in the early 90s, lives there with his wife Abby and two kids, Jaman and Stella. Anton invited us to the opening of their community hall which has taken something like 17 years to complete. Saturday was perfect weather and we toodled the five minutes up the road together with our friends Stewart and Matt from Georgica. I stupidly forgot my camera but it was a lovely morning, with stacks of kids, a cute miniature goat with wooly hair and a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Residents set up various stalls selling plants, scrummy cakes, and other stuff and the Mayor of Lismore, the wonderful Jenny Dowell officially opened the hall. Anton invited us back later on in the evening where there was to be a bonfire and music, but we didn't end up going back.

Hi Helene,
I've removed the paragraph about the funeral, and apologise if it upset you. I should have made sure that my facts were correct as you say, I hadn't realised the funeral was for both Josef and Michael.
