Our members are a wealth of knowledge. One man in particular, who shall for now be known as Sam Johnson has lots of useful, quick and economical tips to share with us. Through the gardening page, he will help us residents get the most from our gardens with regular tips, hints and updates.
Have you sighed and groaned at the appearance of dandelions springing up in all the pathways and flowerbeds? Sigh no more…
We’ll provide updates every few weeks to recommend what to do through the months and seasons going forward. We also welcome your feedback and any useful tips of your own that you wish to share on gardening with your neighbours.
We welcomed Santa on his special annual visit to Balally. This year he walked around the whole estate with the committee carol singers. Children and adults eagerly waited outside their homes to greet him and join in the singing. Many whispered in his ear… everyone had been nice (not naughty, of course), some made last minute requests for gifts they wished for.
All his younger fans got treats of selection boxes and sweets. Carols were sung, Christmas wishes were exchanged with neighbours.
A unique occasion that Balally is renowned for. We hope the singers among you will come out in force in December 2013… don’t be shy, let us know now.
