Well ‘Spring’ has finally arrived in Ballynure. The ‘Crocuses’ and ‘Snowdrops’ are in show and the ‘Tulips’ and ‘Daffodils’ are not far behind.
Its been over a year since the last revamp of the website, so I thought a little ‘Spring Cleaning’ may be in order. This new theme has a more rustic feel to it more in keeping with village life.
Support for new ‘Touchscreen Phones’ such as iPhone, Android and Blackberry Touch phones has been added
I hope that you find it pleasing, let me know your thoughts!…..Paul
