MartinB's Journal

What a lovely photograph to have in your store of fond memories, Martin. And the 'black and whites' or 'sepia' are just the best!

Good when they find it atlast,love old pictures.

What a treasure! Lovely picture and history.

It was good that it ended up finding its way back to you.

A treasure.

what a treasure. you must feel all fuzzy and warm inside.

Great photo of your grandfather lovely to have, also good that the family continue on with his garden

He's probably thinking "Who's nicked my saddle?"

Where did you spring from Kindred

You see him here,

you see him there..............

You coming up to see the half finished Pergola? I've run out of wood and run out of money, so it's on stop at the mo'. 

Good morning, Kindred. :) Can't wait to see it.

aw Martin I did'nt know you had a sentimental side... looks like your grandad had a ready supply of manure too :-)  is'nt funny when we get older how intrested we become in our families past.. found out recently that my great grandad came from Clare..

Hi Bill, I came from a very poor family. He was only holding the horse fot the picture. I believe that some of my forebears were English, don't know what to do about that.

Ah At last Ive solved one mystery. Martin B and Deborah are the one and the same!!! Light breaks through...but ever so slowly for Scrubber. I have you both down as friends and only tonight on reading fran's journal (Always a dangerous thing to do) it dawned on me. But please tell me was it tags or togs you lost and how. Or is it an in joke that I am missing?.

That was a lovely photo. You were so lucky to get it. My grandfather worked as a groomsman in the old Ballykisteen Stud.Monard Co Tipperary (Now an Hotel) and my furthest back memory and my only one of him is being led around on a horse in a shed when I was about three or even less! And that was quite some time ago.

Peter your a howl.. I think you'll find Martin and Deborah are very different albiet together :-)

Yes I do see from their profile that they are very much together!...Bless them! Senior hours at present rather than moments!!!
