"Playing cards in a caravan on a rainy day at Clonea Strand "
Same as that! circa 1991 
Great days. Bbqs cancelled every day, Gordon's chipper to the rescue |

Car games on route...
Favourite was car cricket...
If you passed a pub that pub title had limbs you got runs for number of limbs...eg golden lion = 4 runs..
If it was royal oak..no limbs you lose a wicket..
Oh for pub called the centipede..
Not sure would work in Ireland with how pubs carry owners name...could be lots of 2 runs

We used to rent out our old house which was beside our new one. An English couple with a 9 year old daughter stayed in it one Summer. She wore perfume. Imagine! My best friend and I, both 10 at the time, fell head over heels in love with her. Much fighting took place over her and lots of pecking was done. What a time to be alive. |

I was a cautious child, my sibling, not so much. Got a boot in the arse for myself as I stood at the side of the pool, thinking about the safest way to get in. I couldn’t swim. Pulled out of the pool, little shit almost drowned me  |

My first memory of been attracted to redheads came when I was about 10. Staying in a caravan park in duncannon Co. Wexford. Our caravan was beside the shop that she worked in. She was about 16. Long curly red hair. Freckles and beautiful lips. Oh to be young again. I might have got her name lol |

Those memories sound epic. My summers were work.. Free labour so either bog, hay, or stones.. Lots of stones..
But the highlights were end of summer when Puck Fair and the Rose of Tralee was on. Music, fun, amusements, and craic. |

At my grandparents house in north Kerry while young, fishing for trout every evening in the river feale, then the local story teller farmer coming for tea in the evening talking about piseogs and local hauntings, scaring the shit out of us.
As I'm got into my mid teens in the early 90's we'd go to Mosney in Meath and I'd have a few holiday flings or our holiday home in Ballyheigue in Kerry same thing... teenage kicks. We'd spend a week in Wexford too in August, Dad had a great job so we were lucky in the 80's and 90's to have a few holidays.
