2008-03-23 15:22:00
It was an early start today when I looked out the window and found the area covered with snow. Grabbing the camera we took the chance to capture Garth View covered in snow. The morning then continued with Paul and the rest of the kids making a snow man and throwing snow balls. Of course, it was ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Garth View wakes to snow on Easter Sunday morning and Sammy makes a fleeting visit.", url: "http://www.pryordurkin.com/2008/03/23/ga rth-view-wakes-to-snow-on-easter-sunday-m orning-and-sammy-makes-a-fleeting-visit/" });

OK. I give in. They have won me over. Despite my last review (read it here) I have to raise the Pryordurkin Rating from 2.0 to 3.0 on the basis of the staff. They are actually very nice indeed.

I don’t recall where I ever heard this saying “A change is as good as a rest to a blind horse” but it I use it a lot. Anyway, the old website has had a facelift over the last few days and while I’m sure there will be some bugs to iron out, it looks ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "A change is as good as a rest to a blind horse.", url: "http://www.pryordurkin.com/2008/03/17/a- change-is-as-good-as-a-rest-to-a-blind-ho rse/" });
