@@TheCuriousCelt Thank you so much, my friend. Have a very pleasant night.

Hi Mandy.... just sent you an email...😊

Hey Colin...👍 How's the form.? Thanks for the great feedback. What about that Saxon hoard ....? Every detectorists dream....💰. I have got out a couple of times myself, but just found **** 💩 Have a great Samhain.🎃

And a wonderful Samhain to you 🎃

Hi Laurel, glad you enjoyed the video.😊 Great question. The best dates in 2025 are... June 12th ...12-4 am July 9-10..... midnight -2am August 5-6....10.30-00.30 September 1st...8.30-10.30pm It would be lovely to be there for sure. Maybe I'll see you there. Samhain blessings my friend 🎃 hope you have a nice one.🍀

Thanks for the great feedback David. It means a lot.👍 Thinking about it, the site could still have been in use to some extent into the Christian era. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that local oral traditions could survive that long , like you say. The weather is looking good for Samhain, I hope you have a good one somewhere where the veil is thin. Thanks again.🔥🍀

Hi Martin, thanks for stopping by my friend. Glad you enjoyed the video. It is indeed an important site , I enjoyed spending time there. Samhain blessings and good luck for the new Celtic year. 🌞🌜🔥🍀

Hello again Jim, how is the fall colour looking in Canada 🍁 ? Thanks for watching and commenting my friend, you know I appreciate it.👍 Hope you and your lady wife are well. Have a fun Halloween.🎃🍀

Cheers for that...👍 Glad you enjoyed it.🍀

Hi , Thanks for watching and commenting . 😊 Yes ,I have heard a little about the Native American mounds. Some date back as far as 8000 years ago I believe . Fascinating and mysterious for sure. Love the Ohio Serpent. 🐍 Take care and have a great Samhain. 🎃 🍀

Hello Jim, I hope you are well my friend. Thanks again for your continuing support , it really means a lot. 👍🍀

Cheers for your support and great comments Gasper. Much appreciated bud.👍🍀

Hello Stormy, lovely to hear from you. 🌼 Thanks for your wonderful comments. Yes , a Raven seems to show up every time I am filming , surely it's more than just coincidence. 🤔 . Take care my friend.💚🍀

Hi, Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It's genuinely appreciated.🌲🌳🍀

😃 Like it Giuseppe.... Thanks for your support my friend.👊 🍀

I understand and respect where you are coming from , but the tomb is three miles away from that location in distance and 5000 years away in time. 🙏

Aye ,lots of logging been going on, I was afraid I would get up there and the grove would be gone. It probably will be harvested soon, the block beside it is gone. It was fun hearing the bullroarer there , it has an Otherworldly sound . Pretty easy to make , I watched a couple of videos and gave it a go. The best string is artificial sinew , braid 3 strands into one for extra strength. 👍🍀

Thank you , great comment . I really appreciate your support.👍🍀

Much appreciated sir. 👍 🍀 Thanks for stopping by .

Hi again, and thank you for watching and commenting. Hope you're having a great weekend. 😊🍀

Hello Alex , Thanks for watching and commenting.👍 Co Kerry...👌 Beautiful. ⛰️🏔️🌲🌲🪨🍀

It's the same with the Cliffs of Moher. Come from the sides, it's free, the area is naturally free and open, but if you take the bus you have to go through the museum or whatever it is and pay a fee.

Very interesting - many thanks 👍

Hi Stormy , Lovely to hear from you as always. 💚 Thanks for watching and the great comments. It's genuinely appreciated. As for the door it's a mystery.😉 Take care my friend.🌼🌼🌼🍀

Thanks for the great feedback sir. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Hello Crystal 🤗 I have mixed feelings , I totally see why foreign tourists are happy enough to pay for full experience, after all it's likely a one of bucket list visit. And all the folk I saw seemed to be enjoying themselves. On the other hand, I can understand the frustration of locals not being able to park anywhere near the public right of way that is the coastal path , without paying the full National Trust Visitor Experience rate. Anyway, I am rambling , I hope you are keeping well. Thanks for stopping by...🌻🍀

Thanks David.👍 Aye....I must admit I did enjoy being up there again after all these years. I found the natural beauty, combined with the dramatic sky very spiritually cleansing. I would like to walk round from Dunseverick sometime . There is a wee cave somewhere along the path, you can access it at low tide . I definitely hear you when you say you like being away from other folks. 👍🍀

Yes the cave is at Portcoon, the tide was coming in when I was there so I couldn't access the cave..nice place to sit and take in the beauty of the place though

Hi Silvia, lovely to hear from you. 😊 Like your wee bunny...🐰. Nice one, I would love to be there during a storm, must have been exillerating. I bet you can still visualise that . Thanks for watching and commenting, I really do appreciate it. 🌼🍀

@@TheCuriousCelt Aw, thank you! Yes, it was a wonderful time, and it left many pictures and sketches for paintings. I also remember vividly coming back, soaked through & through, and looking for a cafe to stop by and warm up.

Hi Kate , Thanks for watching and commenting. 😊 I hope you get your wish . 🍀

Hello Giuseppe , Thanks for your support my friend. Yeah... I'd love to know what those Rooks were thinking , they stayed perched there quietly while I was filming. I do have a thing for corvids, they are so intelligent, and IMO beautiful birds. Hope you get to tick the causeway of your list sometime soon. Take care.👍🍀

Thanks Mr Garrett... glad I made you smile. 😊 🍀

Thanks for watching and commenting. It's much appreciated. Good luck 🍀 from Ireland.

Hello again sir , Thanks for watching and your great feedback. Much appreciated as always. 👍 I hope you are well, and staying cool in the Arizona summer heat. 🌞 Not long to Autumn 🍁. Catch you later bud. 😎🍀

Hi Jim, Thanks so much for the great feedback . It was a lot of work , but I think it turned out mostly OK. Take care my friend. 🤠🍀

Hello Barry , Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍 I am pretty sure the stone huts at the monastic site are Beehive monks cells , similar to the ones on Skellig Michael and other places. Food would most likely have been stored in a souterrain , a stone lined under ground passage or chamber . This way no light gets in and it stays at a constant cool temperature. 🍀

🌳🌳🪦🌲🌳....👍🍀

Hi Wade ,Thanks for taking the time to stop by, Much appreciated . 👍 Funny , I enjoy your content for the same kinda reason....not many big open spaces here . And your historic forgotten buildings etc reflect the variety of early settlers that made a new life for themselves . Hope you and yours are all good. Catch you later. ✌️🍀

Thanks so much for watching and commenting , it`s genuinely appreciated my friend. 😊👍🍀

Hi Marie.🤗 Aye , not as often as I would like. 🌻🍀

Thank you very much for the great feedback. 👍🍀

Hello Susan, nice to hear from you as always . 🤗 I also have a thing for crannogs , my dream home would be a modern version , on a small private lough full of Brown Trout..... Oh yes I was so gutted when the Loch Tay crannog burned , I remembered seeing it on an episode of Time Team years ago. I guess the idea of having an open fire inside a wooden structure with straw on the floor , was always going to be risky . The ancestors no doubt had similar accidents from time to time. I had a look at the new facility you mentioned, it`s is really looking good now , And I believe the construction of the first of three new crannogs started in May . I would love to spend some time in Alba , I used to be over 2 or 3 times a year , but not since covid . It would be nice to get over in the spring , if I do hopefully I`ll get to Loch Tay. Stay safe my friend.🕯️🌒🕯️ 🌻

Hello David , Aye there is a £3 charge ,payable at reception . I reckon it`s worth it , plus you do get a map. The Red Deer are in a pen and pretty tame. I think if the fawn hadn`t been there, one of the does at least may have came right up to the fence. After the park I took the scenic drive around Gortin Forest and stopped for a picnic at the start of the summit trail . I saw a couple of wild Sika about 20M away which was nice . Also saw my first ever Red Squirrels . I don`t think I would make the summit from the main carpark, but I wouldn`t mind doing the last section sometime. Did you get any drone shots of the big girl ?

@@TheCuriousCelt it was so cold up there with a good dusting of snow on the summit and the wind was fierce and biting...I could barely keep my hands out of my pockets longer than 5 seconds, I just got a few pics plus some video clips and left inside 5 minutes...couldn't wait to get back to the car! might see if there's enough footage for a very short video.

Hi Jim , I always appreciate you stopping by my friend. Thanks for your wonderful comments and the regular support. 👍 Stay safe bud. 🤠🍀

Hi Stormy , always a delight to read your comments. Your support is very much appreciated. 🌹🍀

Many thanks for watching and the great feedback. Take care. 😊🍀
