Hey @everytreecat any copies of "The Story of Brickmaking in Pollagh, Co Offaly" left anywhere? Working around yellow brick properties for years and only learned today where they were made!

Has anyone done this yet? Sorry, we couldn't help it... #GeotechnicalMemes

Interesting tree shape from a walkover survey today. Anyone know what happened? #forestry #askaforester
