brilliant podcast
I think it is the product that’s rather brilliant. I mean, 30 years ago…who’d have thought that someone would bag and export Irish soil!
If you don’t know what to do with the remaining auld sod, feel free to send it my way. I’ll sprinkle some on my parent’s plot and save the rest for my urn someday. Leave me for eternity with a mix of my remains and some Irish soil
But hopefully that will be a long long time off!
Yeah! There is dirt coming my way!!!
Would love to have some ye auld sod to place in window planter for my kitchen!
My Irish dirt arrived today! Never received dirt before in the mail and didn’t expect it to be marked “fragile”. That would be something if the post office could break dirt
(Actually, I suppose it could break open and spill out – but it just seemed funny to be marked fragile).
Thanks!
