Patricia, this strikes me as a quintessential image of Ireland over the centuries ~ some things don't change, such as drying the sods of turf for fuel.Michelle Alton July 13, 2009 0
I can almost smell the heavy peaty aroma in the air. A magnificent way to reconect. #7733438

Thanks Wm, the turf or peat as it is sometimes called is burned for heat or for cooking. #7746639Colleen Farrell July 16, 2009 0
