St. Patrick’s Day
There’s an Isle, a green Isle, set in the sea, Here’s to the Saint that blessed it! And here’s to the billows wild and free... That for centuries have caressed it!
Here’s to the day when the men that roam Send longing eyes o’er the water! Here’s to the land that still spells home To each loyal son and daughter!
Here’s to old Ireland—fair, I ween, With the blue skies stretched above her! Here’s to her shamrock warm and green, And here’s to the hearts that love her!

The Primrose
Though storms may break the primrose on its stalk, Though frosts may blight the freshness of its bloom, Yet Spring's awakening breath will woo the earth,... To feed with kindliest dews its favourite flower, That blooms in mossy banks and darksome glens, Lighting the Greenwood with its sunny smile.

A message from Marilyn Cox:
It is now a year since the last donation was made online to Graham's Walking Up for MND fund, and so it seems appropriate to close the page on the 31st of January 2019.
Huge thanks to all those friends, family and supporters who have given so generously since the fund was set up in 2017.
... It will continue to be possible to donate by sending a cheque in Graham's name made out to Oxford University and sent to The Department of Neurosciences.
With very best wishes Marilyn Cox
