Both my parents are from Kiltubrid and even though I didn't grow up there, I sorta did. Spent every weekend from Friday evening to Sunday night there until I was about 15. And two or three weeks every summer. We had a farm there so had to fit in all the work in our spare time. Since we stopped farming I only go up of a Sunday and other random days here and there, but I see it as home as much as Sligo. Maybe more so in a way.
Rarely get out on a session since I "grew up" (belatedly), but I occassionally get to Drumshanbo or Ballinamore for a few drinks. Even though I was pretty hammered leaving Cardiff's a few weeks back:D

i grew up in kiltubrid till I was eleven then moved to carrick with my family, then when i left for college my folks moved to leitrim village, then they moved to carrick again and now they are back in kiltubrid! i came back after finishing college and live in Carrick!!!!!!!! Its very confusing I never know where to say i'm from!!

I'm sure some of the bank futher up the mountain got washed in with some fencing. Yes, that's it, the river bank. Nobody would question such a likely story. Muhahahahaha..........I mean, um, eh, .........(sound of running, door slams).:D
p.s. I think it's "Pol an Ease" or something like that. I remember being disappointed years ago finding out it wasn't spelt the way it was pronounced.

leitrim lad

well cull a cnoic ,no that post wasnt any way insulting to aughavas, because i have land there, pullin ass is a waterfall in aughnasheelin, the mountain side of ballinamore,
aughnasheelin is a parish made up entirely of waste (scrub) land, and the people there call themselves neddies, i am aware of this inside information on this area and its people, because my auntie was unlucky enough to end up marriied to a man from that parish,
this will also give you an inside view on what kiltubrid thinks of neddyville, so basically aparts from the beutiful water fall with the barbwire in the bottom of the pond ,pullinass is in the middle of a desert, known as aughnasheelin or locally as neddynille

Cul a cnoic

Thanks Leitrim Lad, all is clear now. Seen a post of yours for that drink "fun", can't remember it but do remember Mc Glynns as a youngster and George C, who is from the neighbouring Cloone. If memory serves me right, he had a loud & wild laugh.. memories...

leitrim lad

ah yes he lives in a lovely little cottage, with a very steep hill behind it,i have a cousin married over your way, she is from mohill ,but married to a cloone man and living on the parish border of cloone /aughavas.

mccabeherself

You have no idea how odd it is for me to see Leitrim villages and parishes discussed on a forum....!

Im from Cloone, everyone seems to know me in the Leitrim area though.

leitrim lad

i think i know who you are ,im not going to mention your name,
you might also know me, my cousin in married to the undertaker/publican from cloone, couldnt meet a nicer fella.

mccabeherself

Hahaha theres my point exactly...

The older or younger publican?
Im really bad at knowing people! I dont know many of the cousins in the family im thinking of though. Although I do know the family well enough.

leitrim lad

the son is married to my cousin from keegans cross

mccabeherself

Well I know who you are on about now! I work with your cousins in Mohill so:)

I cant place you though?
