    watching from West Virginia, USA. when you mentioned the rain i had to tell you that we were in Ireland (south only) in 2018. not one drop of rain for 2 weeks. we were told it was the hottest, driest june/july in almost 100 years. were you in Ireland at the time? we loved your country(my husband and i both have distant ties there), and met some amazing people. one old guy in Quilty was so knowledgeable about his property. as we are history freaks it was amazing to hear that his family had lived on the property for a long, LONG time. his grand dad bought it(this guy was past 80) and when i asked him who it was purchased from he said 'the Whites'. i asked how long they had had the place, and he said, now get this...............'400 YEARS!!'. i was delighted to hear that. what about your families? where are they from in Ireland? how long were they there?

    That “one year later” intro & transition was epic, felt like it was straight out of a scene from the lord of the rings. Just out of curiosity though, is there no chance that leaving the old moss roof underneath the new thatching will cause it to rot?

    Those water reeds have become an invasive species here in southern Ontario Canada. People brought them here to use in garden displays on their front lawns. Unfortunately they grow faster than our native bull rush and choke them out in our water systems. But they do make one helluva good duck blind for hunting. Love your content guys. Keep at er.
