willow
The Whirling Dervish, a willow sculpture by artist Trevor Leat installed in 2012 at Shambellie House, in New Abbey, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

Unfortunately Shambellie House closed in 2013, so the piece is no longer on display.

Lord Summerisle shall hear of this.

“I’ve been a barber for over 6 years now. I’ve worked in Cork, Dublin, Brisbane and Melbourne. I’ve picked up loads of experience along the way so It’s safe to say I’m ready to spread my wings and here it is “Barber on a Bike”. Dublin’s a trendy city, Sweet Barnets are a must and I take pride in keeping up to date with modern styles and polishing them off to perfection….Contact me on social media or directly by call or text. Or use the contact form on my site [link below].I then check my diary and pencil you in an appointment. When your time comes I peddle my skinny little legs to your house and style you up in the comfort of your own home so you don’t waste time queuing. All I need is a chair and a socket….”

I’m a self employed Irish app developer and noticed you sometimes feature apps. I’ve made an Irish Lotto app for Android that provides the latest results and notifies you when they’re available, as well as letting you check and re-check your numbers. I’m working on an update but the current version is out now and available to download from the Play store
