Earlier this evening I was sadly informed of the death, on Saturday evening, of the death of our dear Patily.
I hope further tributes will follow, as I'm sure they will.
Ospreys were Patily's obsession and despite her incredible disabilities she visited several centres.
She was one very 'gutsy' lady who I had the privilege of meeting at Rutland.
I am hoping I have more success with this post than the earlier one.
This illustrates the battles she fought.
RIP dear Patily.

Sheila, The wooden blocks with names are for contributions of a certain amount toward the construction of the new Dyfi visitor centre. I expect that there was probably no upper limit, only a given minimum amount in order to have a plaque, and of course, I also expect that some, possibly all, of those whose names appear at Dyfi have probably also contributed to other Osprey projects near and far (but that is speculation, of course!) We are fortunate that those who are able to contribute their time and/or donations to such projects do so. Those folks help to ensure that such important conservation and education projects carry on. But as is noted in many places, 'every little bit helps' (plaque or no plaque!), and such projects could not continue without volunteers and donations at all levels. Patily supported her Osprey passion and it will forever be noted at Dyfi (and possibly elsewhere, too).

It was Patily who gave me the idea of making Glaslyn my chosen charity at smile.amazon.co.uk
The percentage donated is a pittance, but, as you say:

Thank you for the explanation, Mike.
Scylla, sadly the Smile Amazon way of donating to a charity of your choice (mine has been Glaslyn - every bit counts!) is coming to an end this month, which is a real shame. Some info here
