Hi Stu & Jane, beautiful vlog yet again. So many memories flooding back Stu of growing up listening to my dad playing 'The Isle of Innisfree' on his buttton key accordian, and telling me about Barry Fitzgerald, he was an Irish drama actor, John Wayne and Maureen O Hara in the film The quiet man. It was one of the main tunes if you recall and it was recorded by Bing Crosby. It was.about an emigrant missing his home Land of Sligo and the Isle of Innisfree. So when you return to Ireland put it on your bucket list places to visit. 🤗

I'm with you on mother made knitwear Stew. Balaclavas for me and Keith's mum used to make them string vests. Cringing now at the thought of both. We love anything aviation based so this video really was right up our street. Looks a really interesting museum.

Another adventure scar for Harry. I’ve done the same with the drone but it hit my knee not the van. Interesting vlog as always. Good to hear Jane being so sympathetic of Stu’s woollen trunk trauma 😂

Aye he had more scars than paint 😂 The damage physiologically over the years of the vision being knocked over by the waves and the trunks filing with sand and water and me walking out with what seemed like a bowling ball between my legs has lived with me

Thanks for sharing another interesting video full of history ( chasing cows down the road isn't history but very funny) all about the flying boats was good as I remember when I was small (80 now) my parents often flew to and back from northern Argentina on a more modern version, must have been around the late forties early fifties!!!! the scary part being the take-off and then the landing....

Hi Jane and Stu, another lovely view of Ireland, no doubt you can tell from the other comments mothers and granny's of a certain era were prolific knitters. Hand knitted socks and jerseys were great, swimming trunks not so much, they were OK as long as you didn't get them wet. Loved all the history.

My mum and nan were avid knitters and I don’t think I owned a shop bought jumper or cardigan until I was a teen, unless one had been handed down to me! Thankfully I never had a knitted swimming costume. Sorry Stu but the very thought of it is making me smile. Take care Gill

Brilliant video, one of my faves of this series. The quiet mam, a magnificent film,watched in my younger days with my mum. Delighted ye enjoyed the museum. Did you know you can only take washed up seaweed? You can not cut it. It's against the law. I get it, too, after a storm for my allotment.Ballybinnion in the summer is soooooo busy,we stayed in Ballyheigue over 10 summers and would venture over to Balkybunnion. Thanks for the great ,informative video.
