Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

St Patrick's Day 2017

I am clean out of shamrock with which to celebrate the life of St Patrick  and so I have substituted the false shamrock Oxalis triangularis a native of Brazil.

In memory of my great, great grandparents, Denis and Mary O'Gorman, who in 1846, evicted from their land, destitute and starving, fled Ireland for Canada  at the height of the great famine.
