@dfertl.bsky.social“Northern Ireland secretary Chris Bryant bans #Drumcree parade
Prospect of contentious #OrangeOrder march through #GarvaghyRoad in #Portadown has led to a nearly two-week standoff”
No sooner do I get here to show my support & the Brits cave in. Typical

@sellybeth.bsky.socialTwo Irish characters in the new season of Ted Lasso (ginger pig farmers who love fighting) who seem to be there mainly for "haha Irish names are spelled funny!" jokes. 🤨
@sellybeth.bsky.socialHey #SpéirGhorm #SpéirGorm, what's a fair price to charge for overnight dog sitting?
@pbpkerry.bsky.social@pbpkerry.bsky.social#Spéirghorm we can show them who's boss!
@jhshelley.bsky.socialPushing this again for the weekend crowd.
Small job.
Suit photo printer Hobbyist, or as mentioned, professional.
@patrickjmb.bsky.socialThe burnt bones of an adult male were discovered at the eastern end of the cairn in a small stone grave called a cist. A more complex stone feature, divided into 3 compartments, was uncovered at the opposite end and this contained the burnt remains of 3. possibly, female adults.

@patrickjmb.bsky.socialThe lane (holloway?) down to Ballynoe Stone Circle. Then the circle, the votive/petitioning hawthorn and the Rays!
Circle is over 33m in diameter and some of the stones are 2m high. There is a central mound.
@pbpkerry.bsky.socialWednesday, lads, Wednesday. #Spéirghorm
@patrickjmb.bsky.social#Mournes (northern aspect) from Rossglass Beach
@patrickjmb.bsky.socialHoly well and bullaun stone. St John's Church. Local folklore often attaches religious or magical significance to bullaun stones, and the rainwater collected.
And thinking of the late @justrena.bsky.social who was very fond of the area around here #StJohnsPoint

@patrickjmb.bsky.socialSt John's Church (10th or 11th C), marks the site of an early establishment associated with Eoan (John) son of Cairland, and in medieval times it was a chapel. An example of a small, pre-Romanesque church
