From www.castlebar.ie Home Thoughts I went to the beach yesterday - Colonial Beach to be precise but I was not "cois farraige". Colonial Beach is a small Virginia town which lies along a beautiful stretch of the Potomac river. Pre-Colonial times, there were Native American villages on both sides of the Potomac River varying in size from 200-300 to several thousand inhabitants. They were farmers, fishermen and hunters. Today watermen and women work crab pots, others continue to oyster and fish pound or gillnets. Further inland I picked "sméara dubha" on a huge farm, their peaches are just the best. I also found a "puc ar buille" and the corn was certainly high as an elephant's eye. © Copyright 2003 by www.castlebar.ie and the author |
