KerkedijkJack, I grew up with my three brothers and me, very happy memories of life in Tramore as a child. My grandmother was English, she was a wonderful woman, so capable. I spent a lot of time with her, I learned so much from her looking back. My sister Ruth was born when I was 12 so a whole life had existed before she was born, my three brothers and me, a tomboy. We lived on the beach, life was the beach, happy memories for me and I am very attached to shells still, always looking for them.
