Tim,
I appreciate your posting this, particularly because it enabled me to spot an "infelicity" in that I used the word "bog" three times, and two of them were within a few lines of each other. I have substituted "peat" for one of them. Someone on another board told me he thought this piece might be too "Heaneyesque" but the Murrays were on the bog long before the Heaneys, and Heaney's grandad didn't find a three thousand year old gold ornament like mine did. Many thanks to all who have commented, particularly Susan about that comma. She is, of course, right, and I have now changed it.
Regards,
Oliver.
