Oh was rolling that area all day with it. Very flat. Have a video of it too.

Was lovely here today so I took a stroll to the Longford border and back! Stopped halfway in our bog to get a sup of water from the spring I remembered being there and somebody has restored it perfectly with a wee bucket hanging up for catching the water.

Ye should have kept walking a bit further and I would have put the kettle on
Fair play to the person that restored the well. A neighbour keeps access to our local well briar free during the summer but nobody uses it any more.

Next time maybe, would be hard to walk though Ballinamuck with Dillons looking so tempting though!
The spring used to be trickling down the peat side and you have to shimmy down the bank a bit to get to it. Now you still have to get down and jump a stream but there's a bit of metal jutting out catching the flow of water. Looks like someone just cleaned out the drain a bit and reworked the original flow slightly.

I will take a pic of the disused well which at the time was used for drinking water by my Grandparents/Uncle and pre dated community water schemes. They used the "scuch" for water for livestock/fowl about the house.
My Grandad used to clean out the well every year and "lime" it so that it was safe. As the youngest grandchild I hated hauling buckets of water from the well.
I remember my Grandmam drawing buckets of water from barrels outside the house and heating the water on the range to bath/wash me.

It can turn to flint and I'll still be happy not to see the muck we've had the last few months . In fairness I'd say its getting time quickly to get a bit of rolling done

I think I may be a few days late for that here. Started grazing paddocks last week with 10 yearlings. On the third now. The first one is flying up again and lush green. Thank the Lord for a bit of sun! Hopefully the frost won't knock it back much.

I'm a great man for the sleeveless jacket. I nearly always wear one. I'm rarely too warm or too cold. Though they're not much good of a wet day.

Daughter had a friend over one day, when she was going home she was looking for her jillet! I never heard of it before, daughter said its what posh people call a bodywarmer

Cold, no rain but feeling decidedly damp & horrible!

Here it is spelled "gillet", how can one thing be called so many names, very confusing for us non born over here.
