MY ROOTS
My mam was born in the Lourdes hospital in Louth on the eleventh of October 1967. She was brought up in 26 Curran Park, Balbriggan.
She had plenty of friends and went to school in St Peter and Paul, which was very different at the time because you got the cane if you
were bold. There were plenty of stories and songs my mam knew. Their lives were very different from ours.

MY ROOTS.
My mum was born in Derry Westbank nursing home. When my mum was young, not that she is old now; she lived with her family at thirty-three Clarendon Street. She had three best friends; I have three best friends as well. The clothes that she wore when she was young were bellbottoms, smocks, and hot pants.
The food was much like ours apart from the sweets, stew, shepherds pie, custard, soup, ice- cream, bread-sliced, sherbet-dips and snowballs. My mum's top band was David Cassidy, Danny Osmond. The school my mum went to was St.Eugenes primary school she loved it so. The books she liked was Enid Blyton, Christmas carol. Her favourite songs were, We all live in a yellow submarine, We are the champions, Puppy love.
If there were a problem at school she would talk it over with her family, and the teachers. They travelled by car, train or bus. Mum looks like me when she was young. The things they wore back then were so old fashioned. My mum said her teachers were nice and some were mean. My mum said my granny was the nicest out of my granny and my pops.
