THE CHATTER BOX

Mona The Body in the Bog by Loretto on 12 October 2012 3:39pm

OK, just taking a chance here because some have indicated an interest in reading the book. I have been writing posts about bogs, bog bodies and the Celts on my blog just to generate a bit of interest in the book. But I have to say, writing this post today made me think of how hard it was to grow up working on a farm in Ireland. There were no summer vacations, all hands were needed.

Here is my post called What is a bog? and it made me think how sad it is, in one way, that the age old tradition of turf cutting, is under distpute in Ireland. Is it like that in Scotland too?
