    I see bamboo (actually I just read the tag on the right ;)

    oaktree_brian_1976 Ooops, the independent adjudicator from KPMG will allow bamboo. I tagged for it because I blindly mistook a thin roof strut as a (dead) bamboo support for the banana palm... But where's the live bamboo?
  • Swordscookie said:
    We've got string beans and onions, Cabashes and scallions, all kinds of fruit and say, we've got an old fashioned potato, a new fashioned tomato, and Yes, we have no bananas NLI you stole (sorry "REPURPOSED" [whatever that means]) a line from my late aunts party piece which she belted out each time she had a few sherries on her! It really got the family going and caused great amusement! I cannot see any obvious bamboo but the fine leaves high behind the banana may just be what you describe!

    Swordscookie "Stole" is such an ugly word! I "repurposed" it... :)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Phormium from Seuss looks plausible, but not so convinced by his suggestion of Aspidistra... And Swordscookie don't think that they look like bamboo leaves when you check against the huge size:

Lions Couchant Regardant - or words to that effect

    What's this? More "cats" for Sharon Corbet! With all these cats, Morning Mary, you are really spoiling her...

    Shane's Castle. It was burnt down in 1922. Maliciously, no less! lordbelmontinnorthernireland.blogspot.com/2013/11/shanes-...

    Carol Maddock What's wrong with cats? I like cats too.

    Unusually this other photo seems to be earlier; no gates and cats. Or have I got it wrong? catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000339418

    I Think it is called a Billhook and it is used for hedging on the farm
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Mick Huett Thank you! It certainly looks like a Billhook if these images are anything to go by...
  • Brian Mulligan said:
    They could easily be father and son, check the eyes and mouth similarities. A nice photograph especially considering when it was taken!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Brian Mulligan Perhaps you're right - they could well be father and son...
  • Sole & Luna said:
    Really nice photo!
