Explorer Tom Annefield House gates in County Mayo hear everything through their walls, including the neighbors arguing about whose turn it is to mow the lawn. They gossip constantly with the benchmark nearby, sharing every petty detail about who forgot to bin the rubbish last Tuesday. Bring the dog, it’ll have opinions on the fence height.
