Time travelling in the countryside. Day 2

Dear Charlie,
Feeling sheepish because you don't know much about Irish heritage?





I suggest you go to the Ulster Folk museum

You'll discover traditional farm housing.......

a thatched cottage



a byre-settling


Unusual old-fashioned objects likes this hot-water bottle


Traditional trades like...
                                                            basket weaving

blacksmithing

how to bake soda bread over a peat fire

This is no small feat and quite a tasty treat!

Besides, you'll bring back with you the unforgetful smell of  the peat fire

If you're lucky, you'll even see a fairy tree

 It's fun and there's lot to learn, what more could you ask for? (says the teacher ;-p)

Best,
Mrs. C.
