		<title>Field Mouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We saw this field mouse in our garden last night, burying something in a pot. (The noises in the background are the Radio 5 Live commentary on Leinster&#8217;s stunning victory over Northampton in the Heineken Cup.)]]></description>

		<title>Lisadian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My grandfather John Adams and his brother James Meeke (Jimmy) Adams grew up in a small labourers cottage in Lisadian, near Whitecross in Co. Armagh. Jimmy lived there until his death in 1986. I think this is the cottage, and I&#8217;ll verify with old family photos (when I can find them!). View Larger Map From [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Letters from the Front</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remembrance Sunday is a good day to write this post, inspired by Julia&#8217;s post earlier. A few weeks ago, my brother recently received a package from the Royal Irish Fusiliers Museum in Armagh, containing copies of a number of letters written to my great-grandmother, Mary Anne Adams during the Great War. My Dad had donated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Please Don&#8217;t Label Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s quite ironic that the latest Atheist Bus Campaign billboard posters feature children of a well-known Christian musician. Made me laugh anyway. Seriously though, I do believe that the campaign has a point. Children should not be labelled by their parents&#8217; beliefs (whether that&#8217;s Christian, Muslim, Sikh or Humanist). My Northern Irish childhood would have [...]]]></description>

		<title>My brother Derek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been going through some photographs from my Mum&#8217;s house recently and came across these ones of my brother Derek that I&#8217;ve never seen before. Derek was born in 1965 and had Downs Syndrome and related health complications. He only lived for 20 months, so these photographs are really precious.]]></description>

		<title>Harvest time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is that time of the year when everything starts happening at the same time. Beans, lettuces, courgettes, chillis, tomatoes, blackberries and herbs all in full production mode. Helped by the mix of rain and sun we&#8217;ve had this summer. Next to come, the fruits &#8211; apples, pears and plums. I love it!]]></description>
