  1. Lone Bushes

    Share Share Post
    There are "Lone Bushes" on many farms around this neighbourhood. There is none on our farm. There is one on Bernard Reillys hill and long ago a woman used to be seen sitting under the bush crocheting white wool. Nobody ever cuts "Lone-bushes" because they belong to the fairies. There is another in Phil Ma [?] "bottom" another on William Reillys rock, and one on James Donohoes rock, one in Frank Smiths field, another on Gormans rock. These are all the "Lone Bushes" I know.
