A chat with my mum - Pets and farm animals from childhood farm life in rural Donegal

It's for my lovely mum Margaret, aka @createdineire, to make another guest appearance.


Taken on my mum's first day at school. She didn't want to go and said she had a sore foot. Her mum put a bandage on it and sent her off!
In this video my Mum talks about all the pets they had and all the farm animals. Milking the cows was one of her duties and they would sell the milk. Her dog was allowed to come to school with her and sit in the classroom. There was a naughty donkey, and find out what happened to my Granddad's watch when a pig ate it! :D



If you want to find out more about storytelling - digital or otherwise - check out Nicky Getgood's Storycamp event on 1st of October and grab your free ticket! Hope to see you there :)

Saturday 1st October at 11.00am-6.00pm

If you can see the importance of telling a powerful story to communicate and would like to think, discuss and learn more about how to do this effectively, or share examples of storytelling that has had a real impact, then StoryCamp is for you!
Interested:

Visit the Storycamp website for more information

and
Get your free ticket to Storycamp on Eventbrite
My friend and Talk About Local colleague Nicky Getgood is the brains behind Storycamp.

I'm really looking forward to the event. I guess you could say that anyone who uses any social media platform tells their own stories in way, but I'm looking forward to learning more about digital story telling and getting some inspiration and having a better personal definition of story telling, and the varied ways to share those stories.

I've tried my hand at story telling with my Mum as the subject and asked her about her childhood living on a farm in rural Ireland.






Roll on Storycamp! :)
