Slow way back to the country 🤠 ….
Dún a Rí Forest Park in County Cavan forms part of what was formerly the Cabra Estate.
Ireland and Peg’s Cottage
The summer-flower has run to seed,
And yellow is the woodland bough;
And every leaf of bush and weed
Is tipt with autumn’s pencil now.
~ from ‘Autumn’, written in 1821 by John Clare
