Irish folk creatures are usually portrayed as unfriendly ... but then, it makes for a better narrative in Ireland.

My son has bought me an Anthology of Irish Folk Lore for my birthday . Love it.

The computer crashed before I commenced another component to my question below.

Does Irish mythology describe its Sidhe matter-of-factly as irritable or is there an emotion or a judgment about such impartial, unmannerly attitudes?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Ticks here attack rainy weather-, tall grass-, wooded area-ambling Unitedstatesians.

Do ticks never, often, rarely burrow into, crawl over similar-activitied British-Isles-ers?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Growing up I never came across utility poles covered with official and unofficial, private and public notices, such as "Sell that junk car!" and "Stop here, not just before crosswalk!" Such examples as the former and the latter now can be discerned perhaps in every other block of utility poles nowadays.

Does the electrical system in the British Isles employ staggered poles, between which extend above-ground electric lines (which resting birds sometimes favor over tree branches)?

If so, is the pole of metal or wood? If so, might the pole matter as a notice post such as the Unitedstatesian orientation above?

I do the Children's liturgy and the Mary garden every year is tiny. Last year, it was twice the size. This year 3 times the usual size.

I was wondering how to develop it but the idea of a grotto walk through Mary s life is beautiful and has inspired me for next May.

Ty for your kind words.

The second paragraph to the first subheading, The author, designates a 9:00 p.m. bedtime the night before the particular day segment of the next walk.

What is the "rise-and-shine" get-up time?

Thank you to Frank and Veronica for the comments below in answer to previous observations and questions about Our Lady Mary-colored gardens.

The Church is fortunate to have you, Veronica, organizing the yearly Mary Garden. It must be among the beautiful-est in the British Isles.

And this year will have Big Brother inputs to Little Sister about well-water pots with perhaps blue- and gold-flowering, foliaging, fruiting plants!

(Would it be OK for me to wend some blue and gold flowers into some water pots as a mini-Marian garden among the counter- and windowsill-gardening that works as my no-bend, no up-and-down gardening these days?)

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Wow! Unacceptable housing being demolished and its bricks being repurposed for road repairs is such a commitment to practical recycling.

Might the repaired roads have been in the area or were some bricks repurposed in one place, others in another and so on?

The seventh subheading, Magic, includes glass mountains.

What's an example of a beloved fairy tale with a glass mountain in it? Or might glass mountains never have been part of a beloved fairy tale (since no example occurs to me of fairy tales with glass mountains in them ;-{)?

Good to see you are enjoying the gardens.

I am amazed that the mountains are high enough tp be snow capped.

Frank. What is that ? Tell me

A neglected part of Mary's life was fetching water from the well. How about including some potsvfor containing water? Maybe have some flowers in the pots.

I organise the Mary Garden for church each year and you have given me some interesting ideas.
ESPECIALLY, putting some features of her life into it. Watch this space.
