Great to meet up with my cuz Cora Ryan this morning. Cora just arrived back from Australia with her new baby, Laoise. Little Laoise had her very first birthday this week.
Cora recalls growing up on Main Street, all the families about the place, Fahy's, Magee's, Wade's, Dervan's. Rollerskating on the Main St! Drifting off to sleep with the music from Keary's and all the other Main St pubs filling the night air. Right in the middle of it.
The popular haunts about the town, The Temperance Hall, the Lake, Cinema, the arcade at the back of the Casket, the tennis club. Summers that ran for ever.
Leaving for Australia in 2007 and making a life on the other side of world. Welcome home Cora.
