Click on this link to watch the YouTube video my son, Warwick, uploaded. "Drumnatinny"
If you see this video of me on Drumnatinny Strand you will see the beautiful legs I have. That is why I am so glad that I have passed them on to all of my 7 lovely granddaughters. Every time I go back to Donegal, I like to take off my shoes and socks and walk on the strand between Ballyness Pier and the Ray (pronounced "Rye") River. It is a good 2 miles. My feet feel good after it. Then walking away from the strand, I always look forward to a cup of tea at the home of one of the Doohan family. On the way to Falcarragh I have to pass Josie and his friendly wife Theresa. A little further on, I pass the home of Alfie and Pat. Josie and Alfie are two of the boys who were sons of my cousin Bridget. When I was a child, we called her Birdie, a term of endearment common in Donegal. Birdie was ten years older than me and she used to wheel me in my pram along the Strand.
I hope you enjoy the video. More tomorrow, Paddy
