Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. When we reminisce we do so through rose tinted glasses. The poverty in rural Ireland was terrible. Having said that Ireland is a beautiful country. Irish people have great qualities.

I would love to go back to that time for a visit, very nostalgic. Life passes by so quickly!

This hits home for sure, brings back memories most of them good. Memories of heading out to sea My brother my dad and me, Lobsters galore and salmon too Before all the common market holabalue. We ate like kings ,crabs claws and winkles too We thaught we were poor ,but who knew.

I was fortunate to have visited Ireland in 1985. It wasn’t that much different than this except for the cars and clothes,. It was beautiful. Ireland and its people were warm and welcoming.. I now know a bit more about my Irish ancestry than I did then so I look forward to visiting Ireland again.

It’s the beautiful Irish people that make that country so special

Beautiful, as a child I remember this Ireland, I think 63/64 would be about right, my father was a sales rep. for Denny's in Sligo and I traveled with him on many a day Wednesdays were my favorite as that was Gurteen, Ballaghdereen, and Carracastle. Funny, how I remember that. I loved being with him, lunch was a flask of tea and scones or corned beef sandwiches at the side of the road. Certainly life had its hardships then but it was also a lot simpler.

I'd give up all my luxuries to live in this simple times

There wasn't as much stuff and yes we were poorer, but I truly believe happier, families stuck a lot closer, good memories

Yes, that’s the way it was, people so friendly,smiling loved leaving Dublin to visit country relatives, and the nights so dark, but always a turf fire burning and all ages together, old folk never left out but honored guests.people so genuine..all knew hardship too,but saw bright side allways..

Beautiful those great people that came before us God bless them all

This is the Ireland i love and cherished as a child growing up in a farm with my grandfather who was a blacksmith, I worked with him in his forge,life was tough but real satisfying and rewarding.its now being destroyed by American ideology of consumerism.

This was great Tim, it brought back a lot of memories! Thank so much for sharing it. They even climbed up to Stirring Rock, I thought it was a big hike in 1990, and I was a lot younger than they were when they hiked it! Thanks again! XOXO
