midsummer’s day draws nigh in NI
Final few days’ preparations for our ASAP midsummer’s day picnic, at Stormont, Praying for sun…
I was just thinking… how great it would be, if our new Environment Minister Alex Atwood can come to our ASAP picnic .. we’ve invited him, of course; and I’ve heard very good reports about him from many directions, already… so a lot of hopes resting with Alex…
Should he come to the picnic, Alex will be Baglady’s 10th Environment Minister [Australia, UK, RoI, NI] and there’s an interesting story about each one…
The only one BL didn’t meet was Margaret Beckett, who replied to her letter sent to her through Ian Paisley Jnr, her local MP and latest to share his pledge with local children at Carniny Primary School, Ballymena. Ian talks well with kids.
DVWP, the sun will be shining [weather prediction by Iona from NIEL] The rest of us start picnicking ASAP 12 noon on…. Baglady processes up the Royal Mile 11.30, from Stormont gates. Speakers miked 1-2pm only and we’re also having World Café tablecloths…. Julia’s idea to gather info and share views..
Join us! show you care! Pledge ASAP and pass on to THE WORLD! Come on everybody. Be with us really, or virtually….. let’s gently rock poor oul Mother Earth back onto her axis
..if it rains, hails, snows or thunders, ask at Stormont gates, they’ll direct you to the Pavilion….
……..
Excellent pledge news coming up, from Michelin, Ballymena. Environmental activists delighted. Brilliant news from St Catherine’s College, Armagh and Armagh council. Met Mayor Freda and Chief Executive John Briggs, who’s going to draft Armagh’s ASAP pledge. Which will then be available to inspire councils all over NI – and, well, the world. Why not.
some very good things are going on here in Northern Ireland. This is our moment to shout ASAP to the far corners of the earth eg China, Australia, New Zealand… and of course, dear old Americay…..lots of us lovely Irish there and everywhere……
best beams, Baglady
