THINGS AIN'T WHERE THEY USED TO BE


At last the kitchen is being installed in Our Lady of Mercy Hospitality Centre, in the opposite corner of the room to where it was.    To help us get our bearings  the door through to the loos has been included in the photo so we can see where we are  ...............   if you see what we mean.



Your intrepid reporter boldly went down into the cellar to look at the heating system, but was unable to find the boiler.     For it appears that this ancient piece of equipment, having been kept going for 47 years, has finally given up, can no longer be repaired and has had to be scrapped.    



So where do we find its replacement?   Back up the stairs again, for a damp cellar is not the best home for a modern high-tech appliance.    This smart new compact boiler, which will provide the heating for the church and the Hospitality Centre, has been installed in what used to be referred to in polite company as the Germolene room, right by the side of what was the original fireplace when the school was built 126 years ago.
