#Celtic#MythologyMonday: #Hy-Brasil is an island in the #Otherworld west of #Ireland. Hy-Brasil shows up in a seven year cycle and is the seat of #Bresal, High King of the World, his name lives on in #Brazil. #Bresil was a magic realm, neither sea nor land, yet both.

@neil: Having read both your taxi blog posts reminds me a bit of my "other" use of my planned-to-become-a-campervan-but-needs-a-lot-of-work Citroën #HY (German: "Zustand 4 bis 5", US: barely a VI) which I bought from a friend for IIRC 1000 … oh, wait, that were still DM, not €—I was still going to school back then. That 12m³ of cargo hold are quite useful for storing stuff, like the bicycle rack of my much later bought-in-good-condition campervan… 🤪 Now it waits for my retirement…
