From Carlow to Graceland Elvis Presley’s Irish ancestry isn’t myth — it’s in a 1775 court record. His ancestor, William Presley, was assaulted in Hacketstown and fled to America. Generations later, his descendant changed music forever. #ElvisInIreland #PresleyLegacy #IrishRoots #Carlow

A Glimpse of Ireland in 1905 Ireland in 1905 was a nation on the brink of change. The Gaelic Revival reignited interest in Irish culture and language. Under continued British rule, rural life prevailed, industrial cities expanded, and emigration shaped countless Irish lives.

It seems nature is having a bit of a spring clean-up. I've counted 50 felled trees so far in Llangollen Woods, likely a result of the recent storm, which didn't spare many. Despite this, it's still a pleasant walk.
