Great to see Mrs Lucas in Shannonbridge yesterday this time in a car with her daughter
Mary who is home on holiday from Australia.Before the big flood back in the mid-fifties
the Lucas family were one of about 14 families that lived on the other side of the river
in Garryduff village.Shannonbridge was their nearest village but the river was in between.
Many families kept large amounts of hens and cows and the eggs and butter provided
money for the weekly household needs.Yesterday was a reminiscing trip that brought
back many happy memories of lovely neighbours that were moved to higher ground
and the boat was no longer needed.
