Show Your Meitheal

Bodger at 3:12 pm March 13, 2020

In times of isolation.

It takes a village.

John Murray (top) on the concept of meitheal, (an Irish tradition where people in rural communities gathered together on a neighbour’s farm to help save the hay) as it might apply to the coronavirus pandemic.

We all have a roll to play.

Roll.

Suit yourselves.

Thanks Helen O’Rahilly
