My Mum’s Place Kerry Eire
This is Cromane Lower, Killorglin, County Kerry, follow the coast road as that’s where my mother came from . The old coastguard station is very fancy, 50 years ago it was a bar
My dad and me came out in the dark, no street lighting then, and my dad thought he had gone blind. What’s that noise he asked slightly afraid, it was the sea hitting the strand it was very late. Christmas 1973, dad and me, and Uncle Patrick
I stumbled over it again in my Tinnitus time on the phone I keep for music by my bed
So if ever your are in Kerry, do pop in , and raise a glass in toast for me. And have a Lemonade, the red or the white they used to say. So have a pancake tomorrow, and then promise yourself to see Kerry at its very best. And see the values from the sea, poured into me. SOB, Son of a Blacksmith from Kerry
