About

The fabric of the Irish countryside tells a story if only you'll pause and listen. A stone wall tells a tale of land ownership or want of it. It tells of hours of sweating toil as each boulder was rolled and hauled into it's place, where it has rested now for hundreds of years. These walls whisper of hunger, of generations separated in search of hope. They are bordered by Progress with a capital P, black bands of tarmac latticed across the country and threaded with cables fizzing with electicity, with chatter. All is presided over by the Mountains of Mourne, keeping a silent watch as lives come and go.
