Letters to the Editor
Hi Liam,
Something that has stood out to me is how well Tesco have dealt with the pandemic - I can't speak for the other institutions I'm afraid as I've not been going out for the sake of it - getting in and out of Tesco has been seamless and the place is kept spotless - very well done to all the staff. As a new member of the community (moved to Rush at the beginning of the year) I have had some great experiences with the following; Boylans Butchers - the quality and range of food in there is super. The library - beautiful building, unfortunately can't sit in but it is a nice experience going up there The people - despite the rough situation were in the people are friendly and welcoming no matter where I've gone - definitely looking forward to getting out and about when the pandemic passes and getting to know the community a bit better. Only interesting photo I can share is one I took early June walking along the rocks from South to North beaches - snapped these fellas on my phone through my binoculars (didn't want to get too close) My only gripe is after having a lovely look at Neptune earlier in the year the pandemic struck so we haven't had a chance to meet up with the astronomy group since - will look forward to that getting back up and running for sure.
Hi Liam,
I have received your Rush News digitally for a few years now and I thoroughly enjoy it. I would like to continue to receive the paper digitally so if you could please tell me how I can use my credit card to purchase a subscription that would be great. I live in the US so I am not sure if and which credit card you will accept. My grandfather was born in Rush and his family before him going back to at least the mid 1700's. I have been doing my Monks Family genealogy for ten years now and I love reading about and seeing photos of his home town. I was lucky enough to visit Rush last year and was able to meet my cousins. Louis, Joe, Eric and Maisie Monks as well as their spouses were wonderful hosts. I hope to return one day and just walk around the town and absorb it all. I hope you will be able to send me the issue for September because I would love to read the article about the epidemic.
I look forward to your response. Ellen Monks Monteforte
Best regards (Karl, Full name & address with Editor)
Editor Replies Dear Ellen,
Thank you for your letter. It ’ s always great to hear from people living abroad who have Rush connections, and it ’ s so encouraging to think that in some small way, Rush Times is a little link back to Ireland. I ’ m sure many members of your extended family will see your letter, and for them it will bring back happy memories of your last visit, and a reminder to put the kettle on in good time for the next occasion when you drop in.
