A chara, – Dublin. Manor Kilbride. Portlaoise. Cullahill. Ennis. Bunratty. Dingle. Annascaul. Lispole. Straffan. Celbridge. A three-week summer visit home was stunningly framed by roadsides blissfully and mercifully left almost entirely to their own ecological devices. The result was stunning. Pinks, reds, purples, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, popping and permeating every single roadside that we drove down or past. In the battle against ecological ruin, this was a multicoloured chink of light, made even more satisfying by the fact that it was all taking place on home turf.
Kudos to the councils who not just let this happen, but facilitated it. The bees, birds, insects, and future generations thank you. – Yours, etc,
DAITHI O’FALLÚIN,
Manor Kilbride,
Ann Ingle: Deliberately going out of my way to move for no particular reason has never appealed to me
Gerry Thornley: How about an alternative look at Ireland’s Six Nations win over England?
Is Ireland anti-Semitic, an outlier of tolerance or in the middle ground?
How risky is it to buy a second-hand EV?
Co Wicklow.
