Welcome to the year 45x45 (2025). The last time we had a square year 44x44 (1936) fascism and antisemitism were on the rise across Europe and the world faced years of war. Just saying. Oh and the King abdicated.

It’s been so great to see the Tuatha community grow over the past year!

This year has seen the production of twelve brand new itineraries, helping you to explore landscapes like the Dublin Mountains, Medieval Kilkenny, the Sperrin Mountains, and more.

Robin-based Meditation
Take a few moments to relax, unwind, and breathe as a happy little robbin perches on the pumpkins let to decay in the back garden ...

Handaxes on the move!

We’ve been busy making lots of replica prehistoric goodies for Christmas presents. But a couple found themselves on a plane with @profaliceroberts.bsky.social heading to Australia for her Cells to Civilisation tour!

Here’s one of Palaeolithic handaxes being made:

As some of you know, my youngest makes movies with their friends. I was approached with the offer of an Executive Producer credit if I would fund the props for their next venture. One of the items was a baseball bat. I looked at the prices on Amazon & said "I'm sure I could make that in no time!"

Last winter I rescued a nice piece of hardwood from a neighbour's skip. Today I processed it into a few nice blanks & finished this lovely shallow dish. There are a couple of visible nail holes in the piece that (to me, at least) show it's history & are part of it's story.

I've had this exotic burl in the house, waiting for the day I felt up to dealing with such a gorgeous piece of wood... Well, yesterday was that day!

I had a dream that my cat and I were walking along the trail when we came upon my Libertarian neighbor who had somehow manage to step in a bear trap. So he took a break from trying to gnaw his own leg off and we laughed and shared some stories and then my cat and I went home.
