That is a fascinating comment. You could have written a wonderful blog about this family history. My husband's parents were Irish immigrants, from the Republic, and my kids are interested in that heritage. My mother-in-law was from Roscommon and father-in-law from Cork.Hello @killerwot,
Where our family comes from--it seems to matter to us. Maybe because we are a mobile society and people need roots? I don't know. But it's fun finding out.
Thanks so much for reading my blog and for your interesting comment. Happy hunting as you fill in the rest of your family story.
And thank you for the Pizza!
Good thinking actually, maybe I'll try and work something out and do a more detailed blog of the history I know from my family, some really interesting stories to be honest. I've been to Roscommon, it's a really nice county, also, it's kind of known as bandit country haha there's not a lot up there, but the people are all really nice, I played a gig there before.
Cork is a really cool city and the people are all really friendly, I've been there a few times, I'm going down there on the 18th of February for the night to film a music video for a band. I'm looking forward to being down there again, it's known as the rebel county haha, and also, it's known as the true capital of Ireland. It's a really cool place, they have a wildlife park called Fota, which is amazing, and well worth visiting if you're ever over here.
Me and my partner went down there back in 2019 for her birthday, it was great fun, on the last night we met a couple from Reno and hung out with them all night drinking and we still keep in contact. It came to closing time and they were going to drive up to Dublin, me and my partner just laughed, they thought it was legal, but drunk driving is a big no-no over here, you can't even have 1 and drive, they said they would just sleep in the car if that was the case, but we had a spare bed in our hotel room so let them crash there for the night. Really nice people.
You are good at bringing scenes and feelings to life. I love reading your comments. A born writer (maybe because you are creative).
