Welcome to Tech Nemed.
This is the online presence of a household whose members all live too far away from each other for them to get together and feast like they use to. The household was formed around a common interest in Celtic hospitality, storytelling and spirituality.
That was over a decade ago now and you can never stand in the same river twice. Some things never change though, and hopefully this website will grow.
