My grandson Louis is in Co. Galway where his other grandparents have
historic turbary rights to their own piece of bog. All of this turf has
been cut by hand with a special spade called a sleán, stacked at the bog
to dry for up to eight weeks, and then when a lot lighter taken back to
the house to dry further. It produces a lovely fire.
Louis, as first grandson, seems keen to explore the feel and future of
his birthright.
