 The Roe Valley Arts & Cultural Centre has finally got its official lettering. Our photographer caught the two lads on the right trying to spell the above title in Irish - which can't be an easy task! So far the arts centre has been a great success and some of the exhibitions have been very interesting, particularly the current showing of artefacts from the Country Park Museum. |
 The burning hills of the Roe ValleyLocal readers may have noticed that no matter in which direction one looks, rather a lot of smoke is rising into the sky. However, there is no need to panic, because all the fires seem to be deliberate and well planned. Apparently if a satellite picture of a farm shows too much whin or other non-productive vegetation, the affected land does not attract the usual grants. Hence, what does the canny farmer do to protect his income? ........ You've guessed it! It makes quite a stink though. |
| The missing planets Earlier this month the 'Limavady Sentinel' newspaper published one of our photographs. Unfortunately - due to the printing process - it didn't show the promised planets Jupiter and Mercury, as seen here last week. So that disappointed readers who have contacted us can see what they have been missing, we have uploaded a large copy of the photograph to Picasaweb. Just click on the link below. Picasaweb The same site also contains some oldish photographs of Limavady. |
 Finding your glassesOur far-sighted reporter came across this informative sign the other day. It's at Howard Caskie's shop - a well known optician in Limavady and elsewhere in the area. It occurred to our reporter, that if you are at the shop to buy a pair of glasses in order to be able to read signs again, this particular notice will not be of much use to you - unless of course you spot it on your way out! Here is a link to our famous silly sign collection which records similar incidences of imaginative information manipulation. |
