We didn't come here for the grass. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Home - where the grass is greener, especially from March to November! I didn't want to be one of those Irish immigrants who cried into my beer and sang sad songs about missing the ould country. Oh, no, not me. And why would I, when I can see green fields from my garden?

http://byddi.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Tommy followed her to the table where Molly was just bringing out the last of the food platters filled with bacon, sausage, potato bread, fried soda bread, mushrooms and eggs. The potato bread was crispy, golden – fried to perfection. The mighty Ulster Fry – heart attack on a plate – would keep their bellies full until dinner time. Tommy’s mouth watered. And their Irish breakfast. Then there's bl...
