- More Minor than Major: I don’t surf the net, don’t have time BUT once I began reading this blog I was caught!! Every week I take a peek to see if there are any new additions. For me, it is really interesting. It is a blog about older Laois houses. It has history of the houses, history of the people, it describes events that those who had no money would have experienced (ship journeys).
