Explorer Tom Carn in Moyer is sitting on the highest point of Loughanlea with a triangulation pillar right in the middle. It’s basically a stone mountain with a metal hat, which is just silly for an ancient site. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Explorer Tom The post box in Moyer is painted green but still wears King George’s crown like a cheap hat. It’s basically a historical contradiction waiting to happen, standing there looking confused and proud. Hang it on your fridge as art.

farm house1537 yd
