Achill in the 60’s and 70’s

It is quite a few years since I posted anything to this blog site mainly down to a broken equipment ,anyway new mobile phone technology lets me post again! I have lots of negatives so waiting a digital negative scanner to get these sorted out. I hope to publish a number blogs over the course of 2021 so any encouragement is very welcome and my apologies for any duplications.

There are quite a few followers so I hope that some of you may regognise the folks pictured here and will comment with names and any details you might have. Relax and enjoy a trip down memory lane!
