Stirring Forest

Hi Turlough,
Your description of Saint Eigneach's Well, that you say, was a lovely spot. Semi anglicised as Columbkille's Well, that was further anglicised as St Columba's Well, where Saint Eigneach meditated - according to tradition...was...

I agree with Di, Aefelthrith

I agree with Di, Aefelthrith is a typical example of the old saying: 'Love Is Blind.' Now poor Gwladys got even more to worry about.

It's hard to put into words
Posted on Sun, 19 Oct 2025
It's hard to put into words the vivid reminiscences of places visited. Ireland reminds me of a lost past that I will probably never get the opportunity to visit. Your reviews and photos give such great insight and are a pleasure to read Turlough...

Hi Turlough,
I felt for you with your description of getting out of bed, it reminded me of last year before I got my hip replacement. I can also understand how you felt about the bed, I have slept in so many second hand beds where the...

Posted on Thu, 16 Oct 2025
This sounds like it could have been written about me Jane. I felt much the same as Catherine when I was a teenager, always living inside my own imagination of what I wanted. Having those pep talks with adults felt like a real drag when I left...

Jenny.

Posted on Sun, 13 Dec 2015
Dear Di, there are so many chapters in my life that lead me from one situation to another, looking back at the age I am now, it's hard to keep up. I think it all started back in 1975 when I got engaged and it all fell through.From then on I...

You know Di, I was useless at linking back all those years ago, but I put them in the dear diary section. I should really have filed this under its title, but again didn't have a clue how to do it. I don't want to touch it too much in case I lose...

It's great that Perfidia and Daphne have become close. That dark cloud fading is a bonus too. It appears everyone's starting to come together, well at least I hope so. ...
