When I try to explain what I do as a heritage practitioner, it is a bit nebulous- varies from project to project, but it’s about giving voice to the voiceless. This project brought that to my own front door. Remembrance belongs to us. youtu.be/3i6-cHvtP6c?...

Excellent short film telling a story of forgotten local history. Very promising start to a project and account worth following.

When I mentioned the subject matter of this excellent film to a few local wise old heads last night they were like..yep, we know this. That's why it's so important that an under-told story is being introduced to new audiences. Worth a watch.

Our short film about the Great Hunger in Newtownards. There are Bully’s Acres all over Ireland – mass graves, where victims of an Gorta Mór and harsh workhouse regimes lie buried. ‘The Forgotten Famine’ is about one of them, in a quiet corner of County Down… www.heartsofdown.org/work/the-for...

Allotmenting! Peas, beans, potatoes, all coming on well. And Twiggy my elder tree might be a few years yet before they’re big enough to help me make wine or keep the devil away!

My offer to share ‘my Irish’ with Claire in her brilliant article here comes full circle as last Christmas’s dna tests show me, her and her da share the same ancestor 😂
