Atmosphere Immersive keeping Jake’s legacy alive
Morning everyone, Rikki with you today. It seems like a lifetime since I wrote a newsletter.
Hard to believe it's Easter and with that brings the imminent closure of schools for the summer. I always have missed feelings about that, the lack of traffic is definitely a plus though. This week I bumped into an old primary school teacher (weird how your mind in programmed to still call them Mr and Mrs.) It resonated with me that primary school teachers lay the foundations for many things in your life. For example, banging the easers! I always saw this as a treat, getting out of the classroom. Now I realise it was a life lesson. I was being taught responsibility! Yes, I could have done half a job and maybe have gotten away with it - but what was the point. I was invested in the action and the result so why not do it wholehearted.
I feared this teacher, but I always respected her! Thanks to Mrs R.

Property
Here's a look at some of the properties being listed with Armagh I. First we have a three bed semi detached house in Tandragee which is immaculately presented throughout offering deceptively spacious living accommodation.
Maybe you prefer apartment style living, then this property could be right up your street (no pun intended). It is very spacious and tastefully finished off with two double bedrooms, large reception area, kitchen/dining and bathroom.
27 Riverview, Portadown offers 6 bedrooms and also a sunroom to compliment the ground floor reception space.
Entertainment
Growing up I loved the Sound of Music! Maybe it was the ripping the curtains down to make clothes (not that I can sew), instantly the song springs to mind and its going round in my head - go on I dare you, if your reading this and your only awake, look at your partner and sing it Do, a deer, a female deer.. you know how it goes! And if you don't The Sound of Music comes to the Market Place Theatre on April 28.
Also, on the same night the one-woman powerhouse Sarah McQuaid will also be in concert at the Market Place Theatre, Armagh
