  1. The Great Snow

    Share Share Post
    In the time of the great snow of Ireland people got lost and died with the cold. There were people living near Ballinglanna and they had to roll over four fields of snow to go to buy salt to eat with the potatoes they had boiling for their meals.
    If they did not roll over the snow they would have got lost.
