Hey Turlough, it's funny you
Posted on Tue, 11 Nov 2025
Hey Turlough, it's funny you should mention the Old Man of Hoy, because when I read this poem to my partner he looked up this rock and pointed it out to me.
"May be they should get together and discuss which Scottish Island they're going...

Dolly's really giving it to
Posted on Tue, 11 Nov 2025
Dolly's really giving it to Aefelthrith, I wonder! If the message will sink in that she's had a lucky escape in not running of with Clarence.
As for poor Arry, I wonder if Gwladys will agree to take charge of the lad.
So much going...

Hi Turlough,
Posted on Mon, 10 Nov 2025
Hi Turlough,
it has to be said; your description of the beaches and wildness of the North Atlantic Breakers had me in awe and was so inspiring. Definitely my cup of tea. Ballymastocker Strand was idyllic too for the last day of your...

The Celtic Cross must be such
Posted on Sat, 08 Nov 2025
The Celtic Cross must be such a powerful reminder commemorating the Three Fanad Patriots who assassinated the tyrannical landlord William Clements, Third Earl Of Leitrim. He sounds awful, stealing all the land from the Irish people...reminded me...

You had me gripped at the end
Posted on Mon, 03 Nov 2025
You had me gripped at the end Penny. I love Motor bikes, but would certainly be nervous riding in all that rain and then having to face a blown tire. I hope they'll be okay. Look forward to finding out.

Oh! Dear, it sounds like Arry
Posted on Sun, 02 Nov 2025
Oh! Dear, it sounds like Arry and his mum live in worse conditons than Gwladys imagined. I wonder what Gwladys will finally discover about Arry's mum.
Look forward to finding out.
Jenny.

Hi Turlough,
Posted on Sun, 02 Nov 2025
Hi Turlough,
it's great to know I'm not the only one who sings out loud when in the car...though it does make me dry of throat, so always take along some soothers, just in case.
Ardara sounds interesting, as you then take us the...

Good evening Rhiannon,
Posted on Fri, 31 Oct 2025
Good evening Rhiannon,
you describe wonderfully that winter feeling of a need to hibernate, ready for when the longer daylight hours return and everything comes alive again.
Loved the little drawing of the house too, with the tree ...
