"Farewell to you old #Ireland since I must go away,
I now shake hands and bid goodbye, and can no longer stay.
Our big ship lies in deep Lough Foyle, bound for the New York shore.
And I must go from all I know, and lovely Moneymore.

That little town, encircled round, with many’s the grove and hill.
Where lads and lassies they do meet, for pleasure there’s the rule.
Through Springhill Braes and flowery fields, where oft I’ve wandered o’er.
And by my side was the girl I loved, the rose of Moneymore"

We backed the wrong horse.

During this mornings walk, a tear met my eye in the thought of the hatred I bore for the lands of my lineage. It's time I took a trip to #Ireland, to the tiny place on earth in which we all owe so much. When I will, I'm not sure, but like most English, I've some roots to uncover.

Our Love for the Anglo-Celtic Isles

The climate of #Britain, #Ireland, and #Europe mightn't appeal to everyone. The unexplainable, magnetic connection we have for our true home is why #WeAreWhoWeAre 💚

I've been to many countries that never gave me feeling of home what so ever. Being in Scotland and hearing the music that paints a picture of it's brilliance has always felt right.

As if a fish escaping it's bowl, nature calls us home one way or another.

These Isles and all therein belongs to us. Between one's love for London, England and the Isles in which we derive, it's clear that my home is by no means a static spot, but the entirety of the Anglo-Celtic Isles.

To exist is nothing like existing.

This is an antique photograph of #Milford, #CountyDonegal, #Ireland. The absence of colour only seems to emphasise the quaintness of this beautiful image.

This video of #Ireland in 1929 stares into the eyes of our ancestors. Listen carefully, and you'll hear the back and forth of the Irish as they lived their humble and wholesome lives. It almost feels as if for a brief moment, you're in a time long gone.

Have you ancestors in #Ballyvourney/#BaileBhuirne, #Ireland? If so, you may see/hear them in this video from 1929, which also includes the still existing and recognisable town itself. Many faces are included in this video. You may be looking at an ancestor without knowing it!

I wonder how many people can still understand our old dialects? Listen to this man speaking all the way from 1929 and see if you can understand anything being said. It pains me to admit that we genuinely see their like no more. #Ireland.

This one's wholesome. An old #Irishman dances to pass the time. This is yet another glorious insight into the character of our forebears. Their ability to smile and enjoy life despite its many hardships brings me a sense of much needed encouragement. #Ireland (1929)

This is incredibly heartwarming. A young man calls his sister over (in English) to come and see a young donkey. His accent is truly nostalgic. I can't help but wonder where they might have wound up?

"Isn't he lovely, he's only two days old".. #Ireland, 1929

A very rare, two second video and sound clip of villagers in #Ireland dancing in the town Square sometime during the 1920s. This seems boring to modern generations, but the truth is that we've lost the smile that our forebears wore through thick and thin.

The smirk when he looks at the camera makes me smirk in return. You can tell he beams with character and confidence. How many young men today wear a shirt and tie whilst enjoying such innocent pleasures? #Ireland

A piercing, mesmerising face stares at us from #Ireland's past. This is one of the O'Halloran girls from #Bodyke, Co #Clare, in the year 1887. Her eyes, freckles, and smile resemble many within my own family and remind me of various names both lost and living.

The Klondyke Bar was a pub in #Belfast, Northern #Ireland, that was built in 1872 and located in the #SandyRow area.
