Nearly the end of January

You blink and the next thing you know is that it's nearly the end of January. The snow is gone and people are looking forward to the end of the month.Have you put in place anything for the rest of the year?? Can you see it pan out yet?? It's going to be a year of changes, the Irish Government is having elections, a wee bit sooner than it thought. The NI Assembly are having elections in May. As one nationalist said to me last week "does anyone really want a United Ireland? sure there all crooks and the Catholic Church is worse". Changing attitudes and changing times a whole sweep of power is being swept aside in the Island of Ireland.What's going to take it's place? Who's going to stand up for the next stage of governing??? What difference is it going to make?? to you and me??
