Monasset is the name of the area where our family farm is located in Co. Westmeath - it is part of what was once Rahugh parish (now part of the parish of Kilbeggan).

When I purchased the domain name monasset.com, I wasn't sure what to do with it. Around the end of 2001, I read about a new concept [well, new to me, anyway] called blogging and decided to give it a go. After a while, the site settled down to what it is today - a photoblog about things that interest me in the West of Ireland. Later, I moved the blog to johnsmyth.ie and I lost the original domain name a (the original fell into the hands of one of those companies that buys up lapsed domains, and I didn't fancy paying over the odds to get it back. Recently, I noticed that monasset.com had been released back into the wild so I was able to acquire it again, and restore the archive.
