Off topic again, but this inventory on the Kildare County Council website is interesting. I spend a lot of time virtually travelling around the country and down country lanes (also on the bike in real life) and discovered another cottage locally since Google Street View imagery was updated last September and cul-de-sacs not imaged before were included (which some people mightn't be happy about because of security concerns and invasion of privacy). That makes four thatched cottages within a range of about five miles. Any more? Two were lost in the last 30 years or so. Ennis's cottage at Knockbounce when preliminary roadworks were done in advance of the Kilcullen Bypass and another near Yellow Bog on the road by Des O'Briens. Does anyone remember that?
