We have all been through the most difficult funeral week that anyone ever experienced in this parish, in my lifetime. We lost a friend, a neighbour, an excellent farmer, and am all good man. A husband, a father and son. RIP Anthony

I got my electricity bill yesterday and it's my first full bill since I installed PV solar panels. Gone from 19kw usage to 8.5kw. And it saves 2.5 litres of heating oil a day too, approx โ‚ฌ3.75/day. About โ‚ฌ450 saving in the 63days (2 month bill).
