Back in the Day
10 things only Irish kids from the 1970s will remember — and still smile about.
Dear Ireland,
You gave us more than memories — you gave us moments stitched into the soul. The clink of milk bottles at dawn, turf fires warming one room, and the hush of the Angelus bell each evening. We carry those echoes with us still. No matter how far we’ve wandered, you remain the place we measure all warmth against.
We remember. We always will.
