Christopher fetched the straw home today. He learned to tie this “hay man’s knot” many years ago , before everyone started using lorry straps.

Emergency response team (us) took some time to scoop this hedgehog out of the cattle grid and to relocate somewhere safer.
We checked a little while later and he had moved on.

Well worth a visit if you are nearby...

Hidden away in the boglands of County Longford, not far from Kenagh village, is an inspiring relic of prehistory: a togher – an Iron Age road – built in 148 BC.

Known locally as the Danes’ Road, it is the largest of its kind to have been uncovered in Europe.

Historians agree that it was part of a routeway of great importance. It may have been a section of a ceremonial highway connecting the Hill of Uisneach, the ritual centre of Ireland, and the royal site of Rathcroghan.

The trackway was built from heavy planks of oak, which sank into the peat after a short time. This made it unusable, of course, but also ensured it remained perfectly preserved in the bog for the next two millennia.

Inside the interpretive centre, an 18-metre stretch of the ancient wooden structure is on permanent display in a hall specially designed to preserve it.

Don’t miss this amazing remnant of our ancient past!

Tuesday 7th April the miracle of the swallows has happened. First birds are back to us at Lough Bishop House. We are so delighted to see them, and when the diary was checked it was the same date last year.
