“Flax! man. I tell you I 'sot' flax...”
(continued from previous page)That was back in 1914. He had a pub. We spoke flax night after night & drank 'oceans of whiskey', so that his daughters called the whisky 'flax-seed' Pity this work could not have been started 20 years ago!
- I remember when I was teaching in the Monastery room in 1914, a boy came to the school one day. I had my class near the window and I asked the boys who he was "That's Paddy Glaisín" when I answered the knock he said "If you please, sir, I want to speak 'with' Thomas Green." Both are now priests.
- Like an inverted funnel with one side perpendicular: 'Depth' about 5 ft. from wall out no hobs. Holes at either side of fire for odds and ends. The 'blower' is universal (wheel bellows). The little Hall is 'lofted' for holding saddle, etc.
