Donncha is a dark horse. He’s been a dairy farmer all his life (as was his father, and his father’s father). He dotes on his herd and loves to see them so calm and curious and you can easily tell that they dote on him too, they crowd around him to take a photo together.

But Donncha is a man of many talents, not just milking. He’s tread the boards of local stages and even tried his hand at salsa dancing.

Like most farmers, Donncha works relentlessly on the farm, rarely taking holidays, worrying about diseases and never giving much thought to retirement (much to his wife, Teresa’s disappointment).

I met Richard in a scout den, which made no sense at first but becomes clear once we chat. He’s an academic, a researcher and a geographer. He’s fascinated with holy wells, pilgrimages and how the spaces we inhabit affect us (and how we in turn affect the spaces).
