I got this from Paul. I thought it had already been posted but apparently not. I don't know who is in the pram or where this was taken but I am sure someone does.

its Portmarnock and Anita is in the buggy
Does'nt Mam and Dad look the biz in this,and what about Colin. this was taken on our way to the beach when we lived in Portmarnock. 1973.
Great photo great weather great dress mam, i made that dress for you....
I made that shirt for Dad.
I knit that dress on Anita!....and thats the truth!
Thats one of the many dresses i made for ma and that is also the truth!
I made the pants that I am wearing. Stitched together from the old clothes that were being saved for the ragman. My stance, indicates this clearly, prideful and a "dont F with the C" look on my face.
Seriously, I remember this very well. We went to portmarnock on the train from the city center. I was the only vacastion I took with Man and Dad, and truly enjoyed my time with them. Then, Portmarnock was very far away, and it was indeed a vacation, as crazy as that seems now. There was a carnival in the church grounds, and a shortcut through the salt marshes from Annes house to the beach. I was a grand adventure and a great time.
Recently, as I was flying into Dublin, we flew directly over the area where Anne lived. Although there were many changes to the area, I could clearly locate from my airplane seat where everything was and it all
came back to me. One of the happiest times of my life, on week long vacation with my Mam and Dad.
Colin, you look as though you lost two rolls of lino.
Brian, you are a funny man.
These are the things we remember when we get older and it is good that you enjoyed it so much at the time. Holidays in those days were very rare things so I'm sure you took in every minute.
Was that the kitchen or the front room lino?
There is no way that i knitted that tank top that you have on Colin very bad whoever made it, i remember my first holiday that was to be for 2 weeks but i was so home sick i came home after a week i wouldn't mine i was only in "Finglas"....
Ah great pic...never seen this before.....look how fab mam looks..woo woo....what legs!! and this after 12 kids.....ah I remember that week Colin speaks of so well...it was so lonely back at Windmill Park waiting for their return with only my tears to quench my thirst.....and the anticipation of their stories when they returned!! mind you Phyllis had knitted me a lovely friend for companionship!!!
Yes indeed, Mam was only 49 in photo she already had 12 kids a hectic life 4 grandchildren good going mother, they don,t make then like you anymore!
