Buy me a coffee

Since the schools closed across Ireland and all group activities have had to be put on hold until further notice, the whole world has gone ‘Live Stream’ mad!!!

I am no exception to this and to help us all get through this difficult time of isolation, I have been working on a series of Facebook Live shows. On this page you can find all of my Facebook Live videos which I have made during these difficult times, to enjoy again and again… and again and again… and again…

If you find these Live Streams helpful, and if you’re in a position too, you can say thank you and #supportyourlocalrainbowphil by ‘Buying Me a Coffee’ – tap on the button below to find out more…
