On Friday 27th June 2016 we found ourselves in O’Keeffe’s Fort, Gleann A Phíobaire, on route back to school from our weekly swimming lessons in Rosscarbery Leisure Centre.

The bluebells were out in force and the fort looked amazing. We did our best to find some fairies but none dared to show themselves!

The Fairies

by William Allingham

 

Up the airy mountain,

Down the rushy glen,

We dare’t go a-hunting

For fear of little men.

 

Wee folk, good folk,

Trooping all together;

Green jacket, red cap,

And white owl’s feather!
