Our Second Heritage Week Event

Hello Everyone

I have not completed August News yet. I'll make it September New instead, next week.

For now, this is the second weekend of National Heritage Week in Ireland.

A reminder of our second event, tomorrow.

Picnic at Hugh's Well and Sweat House

From time to time, groups of us have enjoyed picnics here at this delightful picnic spot with a beautiful view over Lough Allen, Co. Leitrim.


This is happening tomorrow at 3 pm, being the Sunday afternoon of  31st August 2015

Again, this is not a walking event but a relaxing event


We meet up at the picnic spot, which has a small car park. If the car park fills there are other roadside parking options.

We will explore the ancient sweat house by here in a beautiful bubbling stream location,


and explore the iron reach holy well


surrounded by old mature holly trees.


Again, here we share our favourite poems, stories and share a picnic.


The current long range forecast as I write this is a comfortable 18C, cloudy, sunny spells, with a chance of a light shower or two later in the afternoon, so be on time here if you can and we will probably picnic first..

How Irish Peat Bogs Created Mythology

Image
With the wonderful weather we have had lately in Ireland, folks are taking advantage with hay making, painting, and turf cutting. Folks ask me a lot of questions about turf cutters, why turf cutting is being banned and ask about the conservation issues. Being the Lughnasadh month some folks are revelling in the Tailtiu clearing the forests for farming legends. There is, perhaps, some confusion about reverence for farms and farmland balanced with forestry and wetland conservation. It is interesting to look into the creation, development and use of turf bogs to understand how the stories of mythology have evolved and possibly why the 1000s of megalithic structure dating from 4000 BC to about 1000 BC exist in Ireland. There are two very different types of Turf Bog in Ireland, so I will attempt to present their differences in relation to the mythology of the times of their creation Blanket Bogs These are the most common turf bog in Ireland, and through Scotland too.
