Wren Day, also known as Wren's Day or the Day of the Wren (Lá an Dreoilín), celebrated on St Stephen's Day.
The tradition is very much on the wane now but in some few localities Wrenboys still go out in Ireland on St. Stephens Day. The central theme of the wrenboy visit is the wren, an effigy of which is carried about in a holly branch or in a box or cage. Previously it was hunted and killed prior to St. Stephen’s Day and a matter of honour for groups to have a real bird. Why, of all birds, is the…

In May 2021, I broke my ankle; in September 2023, I climbed my first…and last!…mountain. Never underestimate what a little discipline and a lot of determination can achieve. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done (and that includes four childbirths!) as I was woefully underprepared but I am so chuffed w/ myself.
I went w/ a group but I couldn’t keep up w/ them and the climbing guides told me to turn back. In an incredible moment of serendipity, a friend who had just turned up for the day to climb it again, came across me sitting on a rock feeling sorry for myself and said, “C’mon, I’ll get you up there”, and because he let me go at my own pace and stop whenever I needed to, it was exactly what I needed.
It may have taken me 10 hours to go up and down but I did it! My friend who is an experienced mountain climber quipped that he had set a personal best for his slowest climb ever. 😂

A "lost" 4,000-year-old tomb has been rediscovered on the Dingle Peninsula in Co Kerry.
The megalithic tomb known locally as Altóir na Gréine (the sun altar) was believed to have been completely destroyed in the 1840s, with its stones broken and carried away for use as building material.
While the existence of a tomb "near" Baile an Fheirtéaraigh is documented in 19th century antiquarian literature, a record of the monument's location did not exist.
An 1838 sketch of the tomb, its reputed association with the sun and its strange disappearance has been a source of intrigue for archaeologists for decades.
The folklorist has not only found the prehistoric site, but he has also discovered some of the large stones, which had been believed to have been removed, still in situ.
A number of orthostats (large upright stones) have survived, as well as a large capstone, while more may lie under the dense undergrowth.

The Celts of Ancient Ireland
The first historical record of the Celts was by the Greeks about 700 BC, the Celts were a loose grouping of tribes that lived in an area north of the Alps around the Danube river in central Europe. Over the next few hundred years they spread east and west across Europe. The Celts first arrived in Ireland about 500 BC, there is no reliable information on how or when the Celts became the dominant…

Kim bodyslams Kerry every Christmas. It’s their first Christmas with V and Kim sneaks into their bedroom, literally walked right past the bedroom her mom is in, and decked her 90 something dad in the gut. And to make it worse, he woke up to V hiding his laughter in a pillow.
“My child just body slammed me and your laughing? Eff you.” (Can’t swear in front of children)
