A lovely way to kick off the Circular Tales project; pigs and jam were the most discussed topics, if you don't count the continuing slogging/slocking apples debate! @scienceirel @CACSSS1 It's going to be a great year with @eriucc @corktravellerw1 @corkfolklore and @FurryJams

[Cliona O'Carroll @OCarrollC]
