It’s a grand day indeed.

As an old Irishman told me many many decades ago.
You know, he was wearing his old tweed jacket while working in the fields,
Wearing his well-worn wellies,,,

“There’s a bit of the nip in the air don’t you know”

And I asked him if he would mind me taking a photo of him…

He responded, “I think I will be keeping it to me self,”

Sadly his generation of Irish have long died away.

That has vanished now.

Somewhere I have that ‘book’, I bought maybe
30 years ago…..I remember book sold out very fast, photos of the
faces in Ireland,,, and believe there was a second book too.

I had to special order that book in the states,
To get it shipped from Ireland to me.

That book disappeared from my house,,, think someone ‘borrowed’ it
And never gave it back to me.

Here is one of the Vanishing Ireland books…
