I was supposed to take this week off, but i spent every day updating this website; adding in new companies, deleted ones that had closed :-(, fixing broken links, improving it’s searchability and drafting future articles. For a hobby it takes up a huge amount of time, but I don’t begrudge it. It’s like my 3rd child, and the only one that does what it’s told! Well mostly!
If you’ve any suggestions on how to improve the website or questions about it please comment at the bottom of this article or email me at livinglightlyinireland @ gmail.com (spaces are there to fool the spam bot, so just delete them before sending)
