In Celtic times news, views and comment were carried from place to place by wandering Seanchaí or Storytellers who relied on their host's hospitality and appreciation. Today the Old Celtic Sage Daithai blogs his way around which is a good thing as he doesn't get wet or have rotten boots and no pigs need to be roasted in his honour. Such is progress, from the Bog to the Blog.
