I recommend it to everyone - friends are used to me touting all things Irish, which I admit I probably do - but this is a rather special little doc that deserves wider attention - lovely guy, lovely partner and for anyone interested in our environment, an important topic

This is a man who has a personal relationship with God - "I am a Bible-believing Christian"
Exodus 20:16 (One of the Ten Commandments): "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

Loved finding out that the big longboat found at Roskilde in 1962, at the time the longest longboat yet found, was built in Dublin around 1042 from oak from the Wicklow mountains - a great visit btw - if you go, go to the cathedral too, it's marvellous
