Maggie's fire and hearth.
Image: © Des Colhoun Taken: 13 May 2007
The pinkish walls have been in evidence since 1957. Maggie sat at the right hand of the fire and wore a pinkish-coloured petticoat. She shared the cabin with four brothers whom she reared after the early death of her parents. Their names were William, Alec, James and the youngest, Albert. Maggie had a sister who lived in Canada and who occasionally sent letters and parcels to Maggie and her brothers . When a letter from abroad would arrive it would be brought to my granny who would read it for them as illiteracy or lack of spectacles reigned. Decency however was always present.
