    Oh my goodness!!!!! I recognize this man!
    I'm looking for videos on turf cutting as I'm writing a paper on this topic. But then I saw this man, Sean, and it hit me --- a friend and I met him on our 2023 trip to Ireland!!! We asked if we could park our car on the street outside his house as we wanted to hike up the hill. When we came back down, he invited us in for some tea! We talked, and he even showed us a photo of his donkey!!!!!!
    When we got back home from our trip, we sent him some photos that we took up on that hill as well as a photo of him that we took before leaving. I hope he's doing well!
    What a crazy coincidence that I would find Sean here on RUclips!!

    God bless the turf cutters. Their hard work has warmed many, many generations of Irish families. There is also something special about the fact that a landscape that is often so rugged can offer up a bounty so great, which pretty much sums up the beauty of Ireland in a nutshell. 🇮🇪

    Watching this piece from the Dingle Peninsula in Kerry helps me value the simple things in life.

      Piece is from Kerry. On Dingle peninsula overlooking the Blasket ISLANDS. Feothanach is mentioned in the piece. A village not far from where "Ryans Daughter" was made.
      Beautiful countryside.

      Depends how dry it is, if some thick bastard leaves it out on the bog too long it'll crumble and burn like paper

    Its nice to show a bit of the old traditions , The rope from the creels going around the donkeys neck is to narrow,
    In Donegal we never used a rope between the creels it affects the windpipe of the Donkey,
    The head collar is also a bit shabby,
