Thank you Maryann99. The air is quite bad

There’s a lot of the wrong kind of wind which really fuels the horribly dry wood and foliage. We are just hoping for rain and a change of wind. Too much drought for too long.

Wasn't going to bore you with this one but decided I will after consultation.

In early 1996 was single and working as a sales and purchasing manager for a small ish company.

Had a call from a telesales person with a proper choclatey voice.

By 1997 we had still not met face to face but an engagement ring had been posted, Yup posted. We knew the date of our wedding, the location and where in the country we would live.

In July 1997 we met for the first time and got married in 2000 on an elephant.

Just keep an open mind you never know when lightening will strike.

Hi Annie, yes I'm Irish and living in Adare, Co Limerick.

Glad you like me found this site because it's so knowledgeable, supportive and helpful. But I'm continually amazed and disappointed how poor and third world our medical system seems to be compared to the UK

I've to see a Rheumy privately as I'd have had to wait 2 years otherwise. I've never seen a nurse, occupational therapist or other supports services and no such thing as DAS scores. But thankfully I'm lucky and happy with my Rheumy. Maeve

Born in Croydon, Surrey, lived in Norwich for last 18years, have been splitting my time between here and France for last 4years, gotta love that sun for making me feel better but now made the decision to move back permanently to Norfolk as health has declined and missing my kids out weighed Sunny France and I wanted to back before grandchildren came along. A few days after finally making the decision I found out I’m going to be a Nana 😍

Hi Annie

I am from Dublin. Love ❤️ this group. It was the only thhing that got me through when I was diognosed 2.5years ago. Everything I now know about RA I have learnt from this group. I also have to go private with consultant and have never been linked in to any other supports, on a positive note consultant can make the decision to put you biologics if they think it is required. I found when I posted on Irish support group I never got any response or support. With this group I had replies with lots of support and helpful advice almost immediatly so A big thank you to all on this group.

Depends. If you are interested in the "witchey" & halloween stuff, come in October. The last weekend in October is the craziest and obviously some love it then. Many dress up in costumes, there are street vendors and the other great parts of Salem are open too (such as the Peabody Essex Museum). If you don't want so much craziness come an earlier weekend in the month. It would be fun then too. If you decide to come to Salem, hope you have a great time.

Umm, having been bought up there I have seen so many changes and not necessarily for the best, I go back occasionally as my mum now lives back there. I really need to go back to some of the old haunts and revisit.

Funnily enough, I have never been to the races there, when its Gold Cup week the town is a nightmare, so busy and there is no point in trying to drive anywhere within the town, its chaos !
