My Eire

I am going to start my blog with some pictures from a family trip to Ireland to find our roots. We found them here:



This is the tree on Cody Hill, it belongs to Harry, my third cousin once removed, who we found after an exhaustive search and much tea in the homes of generous strangers. Harry wants to bulldoze the hill and sell the gravel. Hopefully he hasn't gotten around to it yet. He laughed when he saw me taking pictures, beauty for me, cash for him.



We had tea and biscuits with Harry and Ned, in front of their coal burning stove. A Christmas ham is boiling away in the pot on the left.
