“This is a photo of my aunt alice rogan later Owens and my dad Oat Rafferty and my mum Sheila rogan later Rafferty …. On a day trip to Dublin from Dundalk …. My grandfather worked for the rail road and had free privileged tickets which he gave to his son (my dad) and off they went for a day trip …. This picture is very important to me because it captures these three people personalities perfectly …. My day was always educating people about their surroundings and it shows him pointing out something to my aunt who was always interested in learning new things … And it shows my mum not really listening because she was probably thinking when can we get a cup of tea “. It is so perfect “”
