Irish History

A one hour lesson on the history of Ireland with plenty of beautiful scenery to enjoy. The programme was made in 1997 so we have moved on a little since then.

All the rain we endure is the price we pay for the greenery.

      I’ve started to watch the Irish History video but need to be busy before settling in to see it all.

      BHB, if you had to live under dull dark skies with rain day and day out for weeks on end, you might not be so happy about it. An April shower is always welcome, but winter rain is a horse of a different colour!

      Nancy, I had not heard of that book before. I checked your link and listened to the clip, it was enough to put me off the story, the accents were so forced and unreal! One character jumped from Northern Irish to Southern Ireland and North of England all in one sentence. Have you read any of Maeve Binchy’s books?

        I finished the book last night. It had good points and bad.

        The accents were HORRIBLE!!!
        I enjoyed the growth of the characters from unsympathetic to sympathetic.

        I have read Maeve Binchy. Much better.

          I kinda grew up with Maeve Binchy’s work, she was a regular on the radio and had a column in the Irish Times for years. one of the books is a collection of those stories.
