Hugginstown Kilkenny
I love going to Kilkenny. The people that inhabit it I have encountered know about living a good life and being free. I had a treat one day and got to see Calum's garden. Boasting an orchard, apricot tree.... a truly rich kind of folk here.
​
The person that planted this honesty stole the mother plant from the garden of their childhood school principal. I can't imagine a better way to acquire honesty.
​
this will be really nice
​
​
Calum took me to his greenhouse. It was quite humid and was growing many plants and trees that seemed exotic to me.
​
Everything meant something or was becoming something. He knew so much about each thing we looked at. Being in the presence of an encyclopedic mind is very awe-inspiring.
​
these apples are not the best ones
​
There were bags of apples filling the shed. Really good apples that tasted better than any ones I'd ever had in Tesco. I think people like myself that have lived in cities for decades have an inflated adoration for rustic sacks and fruit straight from the tree.
​
I find it so beautiful. Even the ones Calum showed me that didn't make the sacks for eating or juicing. Next to his hard-working hands, they looked captivating to me.
