When
Jack and Bridget McConnell first went to Rachel House in
March, they did so with the slight wariness that most first-time
visitors have.
It’s
a mixture of not knowing what to expect and fearing a depressing
place.
Of course, they soon found it was anything but and the proof was in
the relaxed manner of their return.
Not
just in the ease with which Mr and Mrs McConnell chatted to
children, families and staff but the fact that Bridget slipped in
unannounced and was tucking into a baked potato and a cup of tea
before most people even knew she was there!

It’s Jack’s turn to take the floor.

Bridget and Charlene’s family look on as
the two orators compare notes on the finer
points of public speaking.
