- There is a wood of fraochán bushes near Greenhall, near the river. A crowd of us goes there in July picking fraocháns . we can eat as much as we can first, then pick canfuls. Some of them are as big as blackberries and others are very small. If we are too hot we can cool ourselves in the river. We go there for nuts in October for the place is full of hazel trees. All the children from Coolboy come to this wood every year for the fraocháns.
