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 sle?n, 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.
