Over forty rolls and they are mostly of the "this is aunt so and so and that's you second cousin twice removed" sort of thing. My mother loves them but even I get a bit sleepy before the end comes. However, here are a few shots; at best a mild entertainment, at worse a nice soporific :-) My uncle and aunt still run a traditional dairy farm and are doing twice daily milkings even though they are well into their seventies: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album97/Ireland_1 http://gallery.leica-users.org/album97/Ireland_2 http://gallery.leica-users.org/album97/Ireland_3 The house that Gran built where they live.
