Quick trip to the bog

Before making our way up to Doolin for the weekend, we had a couple of nights in our house on the bog.

It was great to see it again, especially since we’d left it all nice and tidy. We’d left plenty of turf inside, and it was perfectly dry thanks to the Lidl dehumidifier that continues to hold back the ravages of 99% external humidity on a regular basis.

We got the chance to catch up with the local farmer, and greet this year’s guest cows. They were quite scared of us, and demonstrated great athletic prowess in being able to run and jump on fairly saturated bogland. The secret to meeting them properly was to bring food, of course.

Once the farmer arrived, they recognised either him or his van’s engine, and suddenly became very keen to interact.
