»Every day bad news from Ukraine. Still. Every day a new name of a village, town or city in
Ukraine. Every day a screenshot-photo of a tree in that town. A tree to just hold in for a moment.
A tree as a reminder. A tree as a metaphor for time. And a quote referring to that town.« Katja

Letter from Kilcar
Kilcar, Donegal, July 2022
The blue and yellow flags outside the houses here are not for Ukraine, they have always been flying in front of people’s houses, on the driveways and in the hedges, blue and yellow for the Gaelic football team of Kilcar, a village just below the better known Glencolumkille, in South West Donegal.
We come here every summer. My children’s great grandmother grew up here, one of thirteen children, in a low two room dwelling up the side of a glen. The half-ruined house is still there and used as a store for sheep feed. There is a tarmac road that runs up to it where a windmill has been put up on the land, just above the ruin of the house.
