well they say they were hard times, but by jesus, i would say they were definitely easier on the mind spirit and soul, unlike today's rat race.
Even though this is about Ireland, and I'm from the US, this brought back some wonderful memories! My grandmother taught me to churn butter when I was so young I don't even remember how old I was. She put me in charge of the butter production during the summer when we were there, and part of it went each day to the farmer that she rented from. (Years later, my grade school teacher handed us each a 1/2 pint carton of whole milk to teach us to make butter, and I proudly showed her I already knew how!) Later each afternoon, I saddled up the farmer's plow horse, Sally, and went down the mountain to collect the mail for every family that lived up there that wanted delivery right to their door. I didn't consider that "work", I saw it as being entrusted with something important and was proud to be able to help. Several days a week, my brother and I helped in the farmer's dairy, then some days we hoed and picked strawberries--which WAS hard work, LOL. Looking back, those were some of the best days of my life. Thank you for bringing back those memories!
I've just come across this. Part 2. It takes me back to 1940 when I was evacuated from London to Shaftesbury in Dorset. The corn harvest, sheaves and stooks. At 8 years old I still helped. The Threshing machine was driven by a Steam Traction engine. I still have a picture of me on top of a haystack. Horse drawn hay carts and me being hoisted up on the back of the horse. Halcyon days. But then in 1941 back to London and the bombing. Thankyou CR's video vaults
Irish people has a great personality.....and a wonderfull culture....In my hometown in Portugal music also was very important for the people in this times 60,70 years ago..I dont know how but this doc.put tears in my eyes...

Do you notice how every single child in these old timely videos & documentaries is so kind and respectful they also don’t complain at all or eat lollies and snacks everyday they also help there parents with literally everything which installs a hard ingrained good work ethics good morals & good level of respect not one kid has to be told off!!!! Here in the future 2020 every single child needs a screen including my own hahaha
Remlnd me of my young days I am 72 now
These videos are amazing. Does anyone know what year this was, I am 58 and my family came from Tournafulla, Co. Limerick, I was reared in Dublin but spent all holidays in "Tour". I remember the polka or set dancing as it's more commonly called. I loved going, I remember the turf, hand milking the cows, make hay stacks, drinking from the well and many other wonderful things. I have a channel called Grawnya's Home and Kitchen where I make bread, scones etc. I now live in Canada and this makes me yearn for home. 🥰
Bless these wonderful folks.. it hurts watching this to know that sadly most of them can no longer be with us. I wish they were still here passing their day doing their work. Churning their butter and scything their fields. Maybe they still do while in heaven.
I was just reading the Cast of Credits of the Show l see a Jimmy TEVLIN, my brother was Jimmy and my maiden name was Tevlin it is unusual and not a COMMON NAME IN EIRE, this is why l am posting to thank you all for the great entertainment, IT REALLY
i remember as if it was yesterday when i helped my irish family rake the hay for the harvest in 1979, id only gone for a holiday and ended up working 9am-9pm for 5 days, never ate so well and slept so well in my life!!
I am Scottish but retired in Brazil although my young days involved a lot of this I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and taught me a great deal of respect
God love the blacksmith !! Respect from USA

Self sufficient in everything even their entertainment. Bless them all.

Sometimes progress might not always be advancement , moreso when i hear the soft spoken gentle manner folks interacted together , they all had to depend on the skills ,harvests ,goodwill of neighbours and kin . Its been a while since i was back in Co, Armagh but there are certainly elements of these bygone days i still recall .Our tech filled world has no place in this time and place .
Thank you for sharing a part of your history. I love the music and the singing. My Grandfather on my father's side came from Tipperary, Ireland....O'Meara.
My family's love of storytelling obviously comes from our Irish roots.
