Had great fun talking yesterday about languages, politics and Celticity of Interceltique de Lorient in our seminar. This year's experience was amazing!

Today our students had to endure the tortures of defining 'Celtic' - and having mentioned Celtic crosses, I went out later to search for a Celtic cross in the cemetery across the road from my office. And there it was, quite impressive - dedicated to a well-known Irishman of the 19th century
