\n\nWandering Memories<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

\nI needn\u2019t say that my memories go wandering back through the years that have elapsed through the eye of the bridge of time, at this time of year, back also to the customs we used to have while I was growing up in Iorras na n'Iontas, yes and I also have memories of the people I knew who have passed on. May they all have a bed among the Saints. And since my Dad and his companions spent a period of time slaving away in Scotland, they brought home to Ireland Scottish customs such as the \"First Footers\", as the first person to come over your threshold on New Year\u2019s Day was called. Yes, and the \"Haggis\" stories too. I often walked with them, in their stories, through the streets of the \"Gorabals\" as they called that city district in the city of Glasgow. But that's enough for this trip. All I have to do now is to wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year, and may we be alive at this time next year.<\/p>
