Was hard not to notice the abundance of lorries hauling straw on the roads in late August.
The Northbound M1 motorway from Dublin was aswirl with straw fragments as lorries conveyed the golden harvested grass from the fields of the Royal county, Meath, and from further down the country.
Stalker> was chatting to one mechanic, out in his lorry on a pickup run. Coming from Dundalk to Donegal on the N2 he stopped off at one of the lay-by food outlets to grab a quick bite.
By the time he got his burger, his lorry was hemmed in on all sides by 3 artics drawing straw up to the North.
