Rural Rambles hits Ballyhaise

We're out again for a double date: me with my tape-recorder and Adrian Donohoe with his camera. First stop after we pass the hand-crafted place-name signalling the village is St Mary's Church but apart from ourselves and the Bossman, there's nobody home so I light a candle and make a wish, and we're away to see what can come out of an afternoon in Ballyhaise. For full article and pictures, see this week's Anglo-Celt.
