THREAD: Last year, my train of thought chugged slowly down a branchline to my favourite song: #PercyFrench's "Slattery's Mounted Foot" (SMF), written in 1889.
This song is a multi-layered gem from French's short but productive period as a civil engineer in County #Cavan.
(I mean musically productive. I do not doubt the heroism of French's engineering achievements as an Inspector of Drains, but his drainage works are not widely celebrated.)

We are currently on holiday in #Cavan at the moment but I wanted to share these photos with you all.
We went on a guided tour of #Newgrange, Co.Meath* today. We were allowed into see the inner chamber.
We stood inside a Neolithic Chamber that was built 5,200 years ago, which makes it older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.
There are no words to explain how that feels - we are merely a dot on the timeline of this earth!
