Relax with Alice, sit and chat over a cup of tea, as she invites you
into her life.
See an old press overflowing with the linen collection of two
generations, the oil lamps and clocks inherited and collected over many
years, and the books of people who once lived here. Alice tells you of
the sad loss of her beautiful dogs Kate and Lolly, friends of the heart,
and takes you around her village to meet her neighbours, join a
meitheal to plant trees, and visit the fairy doors in the nearby
wood.
But Alice's home and community are not a perfect place: hear about the
split in the local GAA club, blocked off rights of way, the donations of
the local canine population on the footpaths! Visit a restored famine
graveyard and hear about the landlords who once owned this village and
the landmarks they left on the landscape and the people. This is life in
a small Irish village in 2016, one hundred years after the Rising.
