Hello....I haven't been on Communicate for years and it took me ages to sign in as I couldn't remember my password! However, a friend has asked if I would answer ena malcup's query re places to go in Ireland. . My friend and I both live in Abram and some years ago we had a Centenary Memorial of the Maypole Pit Disaster in Abram and a number of people from County Mayo attended and this was followed by people from Abram visiting The Hennigan Heritage Centre in Count Mayo. Not only does the Centre portray previous life in Ireland but it also has a room dedicated to The Maypole Disaster. Maybe if ena or any of you visit County Mayo at some point, you might find it of interest. I have only been to Ireland once for my 50th birthday, (20 years ago come October....oh dear!) We went to Athenry and I still have the picture I bought with the words to "The Fields of Athenry" on my kitchen wall. My abiding memory is of sitting in a pub in Athenry on my 50th birthday, and every time someone came in they said "God Bless All Here". I will never forget that as long as I live.
Hope everyone is well. Irene.
