Slan Isn't it illegal in most countries to import soil from another country (plant and animal diseases etc)?? I always thought it was. I live in Scotland and I bet I wouldn't be allowed to bring a pot of soil over from Ireland. Not that I would want to. I don't believe in such things. My Irishness is in me (according to my family every time I open my mouth) and I can now see it in my children. I had a look at this site. Whoever it is can't spell authenticity, and the link for the certificate of "authentisity" doesn't work. Who is going to authenticate a sod of earth? I think your grandfather may very well have a bit of Texas in a bottle. Was there a postmark from Ireland? Quite a lot of people bought bits of the moon some years ago. Anyway, your grandfather should know that Ireland remembers him, soil or not. Memories are the thing. Mind you, when I was at school I remember my mother asking me on several occasions to go out to the turf stack to choose a good sod, and carve and paint a cottage out of it to give to some visiting American. The chimney was always a problem. Tended to fall off. Maire
