“My brother is in the photo with me and my mother is behind me on the left (her head is not in shot). We were visiting my father’s relatives in Dublin and by the looks of our spades and buckets we were making our way to the seaside. My brother died 2 years ago and I treasure all photos of him. The picture brings back fond memories of my lovely Irish granny and my love of Ireland inspired me to claim my Irish Citizenship and passport a few years ago.”

(1953)
