We cycled to an old church up the lane near our campsite at Holywell, Belcoo. Listen here as we speak the names of the local ancestors from the headstones into our handheld audio recorder.
Now we read local home place names of the Geopark ancestors and though some of them are by now familiar we can’t help our mispronunciations – do excuse!
…….then came Anna and Claire
Fresher than a breath of fresh air
Having not a single care
They dreamed their way through days
Loved flowers old things rock and stone
Dolmen and ditch bridged time
With song and words and deep primal strings
That tie our worlds so that time itself
Was lost when Anna and Claire came……
I believe the work you do really helps people to value what is important about their place in space – keep it up.

I just listened to Radio Dreaming and I enjoyed it so much. It was really beautiful and soothing to listen to because I could sense how "in the moment" you guys were through your voices. I need more stuff like that in my life; Inspiring and interesting and a bit higher up on the cultural ladder that my usual forms of entertainment. -Jessica Scott, OR
