The HI B Bar Cork

Was in the HiB Bar earlier this week with a few friends and we got chating about things as you do when……. a photo appeared before my eyes…..and I was lucky enough to catch it…

The Emigrants Return 1920 – 2005

My Aunt  Mary Breda O Connor  from Castelconnell Co Limerick, emigrated in the 1940’s. to England where she worked as a nurse. She eventually settled in the USA in 1958. married, had two children and became a naturalised US citizen. On Saturday last her ashes were laid to rest with her parents in the family plot in the village cemetery in Castleconnell Co. Limerick in accordance with her dying wishes,

A memorial mass was held to celebrate her life attended by her numerous nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews and her husband John, daughter Mary and son Chris. She was a talented fly fisher, who thought nothing of slinging a rifle over her back to ward off bears while fishing in Alaska, she retained her links with Ireland all through the years visiting always and held a very special place in the lives of her nieces and nephews for the free spirit that she was.

Starting this thing

OK, So I hav’nt got round to it yet…but my friend Val over at IKON HAIR has,I put up her blog last night and she wrote a piece which just about covers everything I want to say….SO I will just let her say it for me…

“I am a blog virgin,  so all this is new to me.I am hopeing it’s going to be like when I first started  to drive, you know that uncomfortable  feeling,  awkward and unsure, not really getting the hang of it, while the world and it’s mother are doing it with their eyes closed,arm hanging out the window,on the phone and checking their make up at the same time .All the while I’m sitting rigit , both hands griped fircely on the wheel, placed exactly in the position on the clock that they are suposed to be, my stomach in knots , over thinking every move ,doing my head in and wondering do I really need to be doing this.

Then it happens, something kicks in , it becomes enjoyable, edictive even .You no longer worrie about your every move, people can now talk to you while you drive and you can have your favourite tunes blasting as loud as you like and it does’nt matter coz,  you are now flowing  through the motions.It is natural.

I am looking forward to  that day, when this is no longer double dutch to me and I can enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences.

Well that’s all for now ,first lesson over,talk soon Val”
