Comment: What a lovely story and so well told! Hearing again all the old place names from around the townland of Tassagh brought back so many good memories of happy weekends andsummer holidays spent there with my grandparents.
Thank you!

Comment: Thoroughly enjojed Arthur's trip down memory lane and the spiritual awakenings of Tassagh. Reminded me of my father's words of advice to me as a child in response to my fears and worries about ghosts and shadowy figures on the landing. He wisely and reassuringly told me, '' You have more to fear from the living than you do of the dead '' Kind Regards, David, Clare,Michael and Connell Quinn ( 'The Listeners' of Sapcote, Leics )
