Intro.
There are moments when one's wife should be allowed to enjoy the finer things of life, and The Heritage Golf & Spa Resort proved to be one of them.
( I am the other, and she has been very privileged to enjoy me for decades!! )
I felt it was right to take my beloved on a special package to Killenard for two reasons.
Firstly, she had just arrived at pensionable age and it seemed a good way to celebrate her 60th - ( I, as her toyboy, do have a number of years to pension age as my buddies all know ! )
Secondly, there was a staggeringly good offer on Pigsback.com - and while I would not like you to think of me as a skinflint, one should not look a gift horse in the mouth!! - (which I believe has something to do with the age of an old nag!)

~~ Where can I get them and how much are they? ~~
You can buy Galaxy Minstrels anywhere that sells chocolate – I have seen them in Boots, Superdrug, Woollies, corner shops… etc. They are ...
Advantages: A Peaceful Place In The Heart Of The City Disadvantages: Some Occasional Vandalism
Norfolk Park is situated about one mile South-East of Sheffield City Centre and covers an area of 70 acres. It is one of six major City Parks and one of the reasons why Sheffield is one of the greenest Cities in Britain.
It is a place that I visit often as it is quite literally on my doorstep, but it is also a place that I try not to take too much for granted.
THE HISTORY
Norfolk Park has a long history and in fact it is actually one of the oldest Public Parks in England.
The majority of Norfolk Park was given to the Sheffield City Council in 1910 by one of the largest landowners in the area, the Duke of Norfolk. The Jervis Lum Woodlands, an area of ancient Woodland, which is now incorporated within the Park was given to the Council in 1956.
However the Park itself, which is now known as the Norfolk Heritage Park, thanks ...
