There is a fantastic exhibition on of "Ireland in Focus", photography of the 1950's, also other exhibitions on "World War 1 from an Irish angle, the Asgard Boat and others well worth viewing. We could probably bring sketchbooks, and pencils, and it will be lovely and warm!

Comment by Kyrle Cahill on December 5, 2019 at 15:22: Great photo Sean,..no petrol bills, no tax and insurance, no (or very little) air-pollution, no road-rules, no seat-belt fines, no drunk driving fines, (it was largely self driven anyway), no changing head-light bulbs, no horn needed as a polite hello worked fine, no bald tyre fines, no driving test, no need to mark the middle of the road, no rush hour, no road deaths from mobile phones, ......oh dear oh dear, where's my De'Lorean so I can go back to the future.

Comment by Caroline Carroll on December 4, 2019 at 22:48: A lovely photo Sean. Life was definately harder long ago. No washing machines, microwaves, central heating-I wouldn't have survived! My father talked about this type of transport, and this was how he went to school every day, with a piece of turf with each child for the school fire, and his family were one of the lucky families, as they had shoes. A very hard life.

Comment by Norah Blount on December 4, 2019 at 15:38: Beautiful photo Sean, a very eco way of travelling those days and manure for the garden too

Comment by Sean Quinn on December 3, 2019 at 13:56: I never actually saw it, as by the time I was on the scene they had a motor car.

But my mother described to me the family having what they called a Back-to-Back like this for transport.

That was what was referred to in films and the media as a an Irish jaunting car.
