Bedside Table
OurDailyChallenge "Bedside Table"
I dont actually have a bedside table so this is a shot of our guestroom. And it really isn't a table in the true sence of the word, it is the top of a flame birch chest of drawers that serves the purpose. I have used the bedroom when I am sick and the high lamp makes this a great place to read in bed. The book? Frank Delaney's "Ireland". I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is both a history of Ireland and a beautifully told tale of a story teller and a young boy. Delaney wrote this book with a love of the country, its people and its history.
He closed the book in part with these words:
"WHAT I HAVE TOLD YOU TONIGHT - IT ISN'Y MY STORY ALONE. It belongs to every Irish person living or dead. And every Irish person living and dead belongs to it. And to all the story of Ireland; blood and bones, legends, guns and dreams, Catholics, Protestants, England, horses and poets and lovers.
But always, always-the story is the teller and the teller is the story."
And this bit of music with part of that story:

And this about the Annie Moore in the song:
