Often referred to as one of the first existentialist philosophers along with Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855).

Sycamore Row is a sequel to A Time To Kill, a book I have read a couple of times as well as watched the film. The article advises on how to prevent these scenarios. ?It has happened that sons have been promised farms and worked for next to nothing on a promise – to eventually find that the farm has been left to someone else in the parent’s will – some of these go to court which is, of course, expensive as well as traumatic. Caitriona Murphy wrote a piece for the Farming Independent this week about how an ill-planned will can really bring trauma and heartache – not just if family members fall out when they hear the will but also if the will is challenged in court.
