There’s a great sense of satisfaction @anon67715551 seeing a bonfire raging, something primal. Maybe it’s the fact that you’re cleaning up your own demense or saving the planet from the dreaded scourge of landfill, but it’s hard to bate seeing paint buckets, oil cans and plastic wrap melt away.

Burn baby burn.

Id say burning fertiliser bags is actually good for your soil. (It’s certainly good for your soul!)

The sheer blackness of the smoke is eerily apocalyptic.
Sitting on an upturned wheelbarrow with a Jemmy and wondering will you see it again adds to the occasion.

What bog? Where?

Here’s a Leitrim Q&A. Q: Where’s Derreen then? A: Derreen is where the bog is.
Don’t you have turbary rights in your neck of the woods? Ours is in Derreen. Do/did you ever rear turf?

For those with minimal interest in the matter you rear turf. None of that oul’ saving shite.

Im afraid we only saved it- up at ‘Six Towns’ above ballinascreen. No idea why it was called such because there was barely a house in the place.

I’m not long home from the bog. The midges came alive just as I was coming to the end of a line. A natural punctuation mark on the evening and my bronzed complexion.

What a time to be alive.

Shur we’re only feeding it to animals. Meanwhile you’re stuffing your bake wirh avocados from Israel and courgettes from Sierra Leone
