happy days are here again in the grim North east

The North East as a region has the highest suicide rate in England and is second to Wales for Britain. There were 13.8 suicides per 100,000 people in the North East in 2013, 
 The areas mental health recovery team will cease to function.
More further cuts are going to severely impact on mental health services, domestic violence services, decent homes provision, services for the elderly, disabled and young, libraries, leisure centres and museums; 
540 jobs will be lost and on top of it all there will be a 3.9%  council tax increase generally in the north east families and individuals will be £750+ worse off
Altogether now happy days are here again

On Endings...moment from Northern soul.

The end funny place to start a blog. But end comes sadly 'End' can be most drastic event. Faced few endings, wish could gone outside...

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
