Time for celebration

This wonderful city in which I have the huge privilege of calling home has been named as the first ever UK City of Culture - and it's a title I feel we, as locals, richly deserve. Derry is steeped in culture - artists, writers, actors, singers, poets are in abundance - and with our past history seemingly overshadowing everything that is good about us lifting this title is a momentous day in which we can now move forward with a renewed sense of hope and expectation.

If you're still doubting our greatness then this fantastic video showcasing the city will surely make up your mind - and maybe encourage you to come and visit - if not in 2013 then sometime in the future. I guarantee you will be taken aback by the welcome and generosity of everyone who lives here.

  1. I was absolutely thrilled to hear that Derry had been chosen and delighted that the announcement was made in my old home town of Liverpool.

  2. Hi

    I am Sergio fom Allaboutms.com and I just wanted to let you know that I have added your blog to our website. You can see your blog in this address: http://www.allaboutms.com/multiple-sclerosis-resources.html?catid=2

    Allaboutms.com is a resource website for people who are looking to get information about MS. We spent huge amount of time to create this website. Everyweek we update the website with new resources and articles to help MS patients.

    Since, we spend that much time on the site and put effort, I thought that you might want to mention our wesite in your blog and put a link back. As I already mentioned your blog is already in our blogs directory.

    If you would like to link to us, you can do it anyway you want or for your convenience you can just copy and paste the following HTML code:

    Allaboutms - Multiple Sclerosis

    Also, please let us know if you would like to make any changes about your listing in our directory. We would be happy to change it.

    Thank you very much for all your effort for helping MS people and sorry if this email kept your mail box busy and wasted your time.

    Sincerely,

    Sergio Pal
