  1. Drawing Home the Turf

    Share Share Post
    They cut the turf in May, and left it there to dry until October. Now it is being drawn home with a horse or a donkey. This is very suitable weather for drawing home the turf.
    The horse is taken into the bog and put to the bank. Five rails are drawn in the day. When the turf is at home they will make a rick and thatch it with rushes.
