Flatty, you old romantic. Do you also yearn for comely maidens dancing at the crossroads? And tales by the fireside with oil lamps flickering long shadows against the wall?
Turning mate. Myself and the old boy. Last year was first year in 15 we cut there because it’s a wet enough bank. The week of sunshine has been great for it. Should be footing by Saturday. You never know, there might be a bus-load of Donegal bogballers passing through…
We ripped through it last night anyway, and had a few yarns along the way. Was a smashing evening for it. Light breeze until about 9:30. We had it just finished when the breeze died down, and all hell descended upon us. We made a hasty retreat. Fucking midges!
Aye, same as that. Be enough of that to be done with the footing anyway. Depending on the drying we’d either foot or pile straight after the turning. Hopefully it’ll be a piling summer.
