Thats very interesting to hear, you are well travelled so. I told that to my father and he said he knew many people that took the path you took. Where in Wales are you? Did you marry there

Your dad is such a character , absolute delight listening to you both .
Appreciate the comment, Glad you like the video and happy new year to you and you're family👍👍👍
OUTSTANDING - hat off to your hardworking dad - great insight on the history of his life and the hard farm life he has lived and he is still at it 👍👍👍👍
Wish you would arrange for a journalist to film a real interview about farming in the old days and more about your dads growing up/living/working on a farm
Thanks Thomas, a great idea in fairness,
Times have changed big time over his lifetime.
Ya he is still working hard as ever. He never stops
@@sheepshepherd - I hope you force your dad to read all the positive comments - his head might explode from "all this to hell with UA-cam nonsense from all over the world" lol
I hope you can arrange a journalist/longer pro/structured interview - it will be an amazing historical insight and very educational for so many new and current farmers and non farmers -
we are all slowly getting removed from the reality of family farming and what goes into farming - let alone what your dad has put in to farming over his and his dads time.
It will a great history for yourself and hopefully generations after you - not many can say they have their great great granddad on recording telling his and the farms story.
Your dad is truly a huge asset to your channel - especially with subtitles - lol - truly a channel that deserves much more attention/subscribers.
Maybe its time for you to reach out to some of the bigger channels for a collaboration of some kind to grow your channel.....👍👍
@thomasbee5218 cheers Thomas, maybe you're right.. but we will work away ourselves for the moment anyway.. Good to have the memories,, but yes some TV company should definitely interview him properly. It would be priceless. Thanks so much for the kind comments. I showed him you're comments . He was delighted
Class video. Ye have a great farm to be proud of
Thanks very much Seamus. It's not too bad. Tbf my father has made it the farm it is. He just doesn't stop working and is still out every day until dark time. No stopping. Thanks very much for the comment. I really appreciate it. Keep them coming 👍👍
Great to hear your family's history.
Cheers Ivan, He has a great memory, it's good to have it recorded now so it won't be lost👍👍 thanks very much for the comment 👍
🫶🏻🥹
Dad you’re amazing!! You must be so proud of your father…
Ya Emily he's a gas man... some hard worker. Never stops.
Hopefully I'll be able for it when I'm that age. Really appreciate the comment 👍 keep them coming
That was a good video of storys from farming in the days gone by... so different. The videos are great now as you always have them....when we were young we didn't listen enough to the history from order generation...which was a pity...( no videos in those days,) 😅😅
Ya it's a pity. I must do more videos like these,
Really appreciate the comment Shane. Keep them coming as they are super for growing the channel,
👍👍
That was brilliant Glyn
Cheer Willie again. Really appreciate you're comments always.
He has a mighty memory to think back over all the years👍
That video brought back a lot of memories of farming in my young days.
We had 25 cows all tied in 30 sheep Galway ewes they were, 20 sows 500 hens 200 turkeys a mare called Molly, and an endless supply of shite, and hardship, oh and I nearly forgot 10 children. That was the way things were done sixty years ago. I like your father, he has a great outlook on life, he's a man that would lift a mans spirits.
Kind regards Eamonn Leonard.
10 children wooow... that is a big family,, fair play to you're parents.
It must have been tough,,
Glad you like the video Eamon. My father has a good brain and loves talking about year's gone by... a lot of people are dead now, but great to get the information on video. keep the comments coming👍👍👍
Your dad is gas man,, good hard worker ,, good videos

That was a very enjoyable video especially when I learnt how to slow down the video, so that I missed nothing that your dad was saying 🐑🐑
Cheers Frank. Is there a way you can slow down the videos. I didn't know that😅🙈 be handy to know how.
Thanks so much for the comment and glad you like it👍👍👍
@@sheepshepherd yes over on the right hand side off the key bar that's how I slowed it down, your dad is a good man I'm sure he's glad you came home to farm with him 🐑🐑
@@frankfee7173 cheers Frank for telling me that.
Ya delighted to be home working with him.some great memories 👍👍👍
That video was so good gyln.i just love listening to the older generation talking about old times.i could watch him all night long.they worked hard and all done by hand.easily known he was fit in his day as he is still a fit man.fair play for doing that video and do one again in the near future.
Thanks so much for the comment, really appreciate it. Ya it was tough times back then, a different world now.
He still is fit in fairness to him. He never stops

Cheers Gavin.. delighted you enjoyed the video, really appreciate the comment, keep them coming, great for growing the channel 👍👍👍
Enjoyed hearing the history of your farm and the surrounding area. Thank You for sharing!
Cheers Robert.. Delighted you enjoyed that,,, its great to have it recorded now and its not lost in history, thanks so much for the comment, really appreciate it👍👍
Great idea Glyn, cherish these times 😊 and thanks to dad for sharing all those memories, one thing I’d always wished, is that I’d payed more attention to my grandfather (but I was young) can learn so much from the old boys because they’ve lived it.
Ya it's great to have the videos now, at least I have them now for ever, a lot of the past has died with people because they were never interviewed. A lot more people should do the same with all their grandparents and parents. Thanks so much for the comment 👍👍👍
Wonderful, love old farmers the amount of history they have seen in their farming life is fantastic..
Ya they are like a history book. Full of knowledge, great to have it recorded and have it for his grandkids.. thanks so much for the comment. Great for growing the channel 👍👍👍
Well done boys😊
Thanks for the comment. Glad you like the video. Keep the comments coming..Great for growing the channel 👍👍👍
An absolutely fabulous, fabulous video. I really enjoyed that! Your dad is a beast of a man. Very sad to hear about how his grandfather passed away, and his uncle too.
Your da cracks me up so funny 🤣 love the family history boys 🍀
Cheers Paul.glad you liked it. Appreciate the comment keep them coming 👍👍👍
Great video…really enjoyed that.

Great video again. They don’t make them like your dad any more. Soo hard working and what a good memory he has, just loved this video. ❤

Sorry in advance for my stupidity but whats a Mutton?? An animal i never heard of? Lol But I really loved this video! Your dad is awesome!! I will say though you look nothing like him! Lol Do you get your freakishly amazing good looks from your mom then? Lol I dont think I have ever seen your mom in a video.. Do you got any old pictures we can see of your dad when he was your age? Thanks for sharing hun and can't wait for the next video!! 😊😊
Mutton is a mature adult sheep, they use eat that in the past more than lamb. But not really the thing anymore.
Haha maybe you are right, I looked like him when he was young alright. Maybe not now😂😂
Ya I'll try get pictures,
Thanks a lot for the comment
Really appreciate it
Keep them coming

Great video well done 🙌🏻 Gman John Egan ⭐️

Wow, i really enjoyed this video and the history, especially the ruined farm house and see the drone going over the field showing ridges from the failed potato harvest. Big shout out to your dad, we learn so much from the older generation, history we should never forget.❤❤
I’ve watched this three times. Your da and your farm is worthy of a proper written biography. Take care.
Thank you so much, Really appreciate it. 3 times 👍👏 glad you like it. Keep the comment coming 👍👍👍
Haha, small part of the reason was making sure I understand all that’s said. Thanks for the subtitles!
@claymonsterpottery no problem and thanks for always for leaving a comments👍👍

Brilliant video Glyn 10/10
Thanks So much Emmet, delighted you liked it. Thanks for the comment again, keep them coming 👍👍👍
Very interesting and really enjoyable video thank you. If your father was growing up now we would probably be watching him running on tv, A small man with a very large engine.
Ya 100% some engine, he had great time's for it, 10k in 30.01 for cross country.
Thanks a lot for thr comment, appreciate it👍
A great video. Fascinating insight from your father. Fair play to the both of you. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks a lot Jamie, delighted you like it.. keep the comment coming there Great for growing the channel. He has a good memory
Thank you from Canada, Father, for giving us that tour and showing us the farm; great history lessons.
Your boy is getting soft; better send him out to clean the barn. Cheers.
😂😂 Thanks so much for the comment, keep them coming 👍👍 glad you enjoyed the video. Great to have it recorded . Love Canada was there a few years back
That man is a pure legend glen, you could listen to him all day long
👍
This video should be much longer. That man has a wealth of history, memories and experience.
Cheere Mike, glad you like the videos. Don't have the storage on my phone for longer videos 🙈😂
That is some man. He is unbelievable God bless him. Please God he'll live another 20 years. That's the man they should be interviewing on the Late Late Show.
Ya he's a gas man. Some knowledge by him.
Maybe he should go on it.
Thanks so much for the comment. I really appreciate it. Its great for growing the channel
@@sheepshepherd he's a legend 👏 🙌
@@gerryoconnor8751 cheers Jerry, thanks for the kind comments
This is brilliant. I’ll admit I’ve watched your videos arse upwards, watched some of your latest one’s first. Some man your father
Thanks a lot Keith. Glad you are enjoying them👍👍👍👍
Your Father is amazing have a great holiday all your videos are awesome. Looking at you from Boston.
Appreciate the comment and glad you like the video. Keep the comments coming👍👍👍 hope all is well in Boston
Wonderful video Glyn, as good a video I've seen in a long time, your father has great history great man with dates, I'd say all that training at night came in very handy during the day going up to the top of those mountain's no quads those day's, keep up those great videos well done.
Well that's one of the reasons he was so good at running, he was well used to running up the mountains after sheep and cows. Times gone by. Farming is different now. He lived through many era's... where are you from Patrick?
@@sheepshepherd I come from inishturk island of the Mayo cost, living in Donegal well used to rough tyrant Mayo Blackface.
Brilliant video, your father is some man, you could take bus loads of young lads up there for a day to show them what work is and get them off their phones for a day.
I wonder would he have made better money if he'd stayed with the sucklers and kept less sheep?
He says that most days, we will be getting cows again this year so stay tuned for the cows😅
He likes the cows tbf, and we have the sheds for them here aswell.
Keep the comments coming . Great for growing the channel 👍👍👍
Love your videos Glyn but this is definitely my favorite so far.
Thanks so much. Delighted you enjoyed it.
Appreciate the comment 👍👍👍
Great stuff. My Dad is now 90 , great to hear him talk of things when he was young.😊
Fascinating!!
What a great video, not much out there like that, absolute 10 out of 10
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it
Glyn I would like to hear about your years growing up!
This is a videos to treasurer in time to come Glyn, very interesting and a joy to listen to your Father. Thank you for sharing it.

@ritamgilsenan629 great to hear. A lovely part of the country.. thanks so much for the comment. Keep them coming
Outstanding video(as always) this one is especially class, reminds me so much of stories from my 4 grandparents in in west mayo,this video will be priceless in years to come,to have that history recorded.........no BS or PR spin,this video is so real
Thanks so much for that nice comment,
Ya he is straight as die, no lies or bull.
Ya I'm delighted to have it recorded. Like you said it will be priceless to have it years to come. I should interview more of the older generation before it's too late.
@@sheepshepherd do if u can, it’ll be worth so much in the future,and clearly very gud at interviews & filming them
I will work on it over the winter 👍👍 thanks you
Brilliant video. The history of the place amazing
My great grandfather did the same thing here in Canada. Game home from the pub ,drunk and his wife made him sleep in the barn and got sick and died
Jesus that is terrible, times were different back years ago. There is some crazy stories, all apart of history now. Where in Canada did you say you were
Nova Scotia now but family settled north of Toronto Ontario and place called Bradford a lot of Irish families in the area
@williamwood816 lovely. Would the Irish meet up a few times a year or would ye do you're own thing
No just did our own thing but pub always had St Paddy's day ,beer was green
@williamwood816 that's the job.. nothing wrong with having a few beers👍👍 thanks for always commenting on my videos👍
You will find in the future this video will be one of your most prized and valuable possessions. Wonderfully done, the history told is a lesson in itself, and as a fact, how things were done. And I love watching and listening to him, he is one of a kind! Great job!!
.
Thanks Cathy, glad you like it.
Ya I'm delighted I did it now. Really appreciate the comment, keep them coming, great for growing the channel 👍👍👍
Very good video some history ur father has and worked hard through the years

He's happy at it 👍
@@brendankearney2640 happy as a pig in shix

Great video, times have changed I have a grandfather who is very similar to your father, how times have changed, keep at it mate your doing a great job as are we all.
Thanks a lot. Appreciate the comment
Love The history sad he had to give up the running to run the farm
Ya he could have represented ireland on many occasions but he couldn't travel as the father would not allow him. Things were different back in the past. He lived through a lot of different era's. Thanks so much for the comment. Keep them coming
Found your channel about a week ago, watched every video from the start really enjoying it but I have to say this is by far my favourite, love listening to your dads storys. Hearing how things were done back then just proves they don't make men like they used to.
thanks a lot. really appreciate the comment. glad you watched them all
Great video.
Cheers Gerry,
Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you liked the video👍👍👍
Good stuff
Cheers Padraig. Glad you like the video.. really appreciate the comment again👍👍👍
