Ah, the weekend a time for family, football and fantastic fun. And we cover all three in Friday’s Courier as we count down to that treasured time.
Family first, and we bring the heartwarming story of a Fife community which has rallied round after a couple’s house became too small to house a pair of recently-arrived young charges.
Like a Courier Country edition of ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’, tradesmen and businesses have come together for ‘Project Jen’ to make a home truly fit for a family.
Their selflessness has moved us and we’re sure it will have the same effect on anyone who reads their touching tale.
There’s no getting away from the football either as St Johnstone stand on the edge of greatness.
All that’s needed for the Perth squad to gain a glamour tie against crack European opposition is a draw at McDiarmid Park. We bring all the action from an electric evening in the Fair City.
And fun? We’ve got a lot.
We tell why a Dundee shop owner has sent a set of bongos to a high profile politician and bring you his rather bonkers reaction.
And we describe why a company took a Courier Country council to court to recover the costs of a Caribbean excursion. Crazy.
And as we prepare to bid summer goodbye, we can reveal where it ranks in the rain and temperature record books.
For all this and so much more see Friday’s Courier or try our digital edition.
