Well here we are again with yet another year drawing to a close – and WHAT a year it has been – in fact still is, with little likelihood of things changing for the better. You will know from our Summer Newsletter how the first part of the year had gone, well it has continued in the same vein. The demands on us and other Rescue Centres continue on a daily basis, not just on the Island but Nationally as well. As soon as you answer the phone you fear that you will …

It is hard to believe that Summer is upon us, together with all the problems that it brings!! But when ‘the problems’ come along you can’t help but love them!!

As I write Christmas is only just around the corner. It is hard to believe that yet another year is very soon coming to a close. I can’t say I will be sorry as we have had a very strange year one way and another.
