My dear Canadian friend is visiting and staying close by for a few days and
what a pleasure it is to discover and share the land and it’s stories with her!
Today we went to Newgrange and then on to the megalithic tombs at Loughcrew. This moving experience culminates in my remaining time
here at Annamakkerrig and I will relish it as I had not thought
it possible to make the journey during this residency. Thank you Joan.
I will go into detail about time spent at Loughcrew once I am back in Canada. Unfortunately my
computer died and I’m using one in the ‘Big House’-which means I have to walk
through the main social area before reaching the office-which means I am often lured away to enjoy good 'craic' with other artists, which means less time updating this blog!
In the meantime, here are links, and some photographs
Unfortunately we arrived at Newgrange too late to go in, but it was deeply moving to be in the same area and something to behold even from a distance-you can barely catch a glimpse behind the cows...I did have clearer views further on but the camera jammed.
