It’s blackberry picking time along the Calendar Road. Sinéad takes us on a short ramble in long grass to talk about all the berries coming out this time of the year.

The Calendar Road
The Calendar Road for Podcasts.ie. The idea for the programme came from a poem written by the presenter called ‘Walking the Calendar Roadway’ and the context dealt with the changes along this rural byway in the Northwest of Ireland, now the programme will take you on a journey along that road each month of the year as the landscape changes with the seasons.

thanks for a very enjoyable programme about the hedgerows full of blackberries sycamore and honeysuckle.. Although Ive always thought of it as honeysuckle my mother , who is from Crossmolina, always referred to honeysuckle as Woodbine. Even in the twilight of her life she eulogised of, as a young girl, walking the lanes on a warm summer evening after a shower and smelling the fragrance of the Woodbine..

Hi Brian
Thanks for your comment – I always call it ‘woodbine’ too, we have lots of wild woodbine here, it grows in abundance and in the summer evenings the smell is delicious so I certainly know what your mother eulogised about – it is one of those memorable country smells I think – when I moved to the country I was also instantly hit with that after rain smell – which I remembered as a child holidaying in my mothers homeplace. Lovely to hear from you as always. S.
