Getting to know my hometown of Cavan [Ireland]

[@markconnolly3291]

That's nice for tourists to see a fountain overgrown with grass only in cavan

[@Meritumas]

Great video, thanks. It makes me consider relocating from Dublin.

[@travelbugbee]

Hoping to make an updated one now that restrictions have fully lifted :)

[@mohamedfethiyousfi9623]

Nice nature

[@travelbugbee]

Thank you. It's a nice area

[@jamesbrady2461]

I am a brady. My grandmother was a Reilly . so what I concluded,my ancestors could Have came from caven. I researched and found thay'ved been in the USA for 300years. Liked this video showing what caven looks like. Thanks.

[@travelbugbee]

Aww glad you liked it!! I love hearing of people's heritage from different places. Makes one curious Hopefully someday you can come visit xx

[@Darren-to6iy]

I’m also a Brady and my grandmother was Reilly and I live in Cavan. Strange

Nicely done considering all the restrictions. I was born and reared in Cavan town over eighty years ago, I learn to swim in the Green Lake. Believe me it was a much larger expanse of water back then, and I remember a man who used to fish regularly from his rowing boat out in the middle of it. It completely froze over during the terrible winter we had in 1947 and we kids had slides on it. Swellan Lake, the bigger of the two lakes, was the'in spot' for swimming during the summer. There was two diving boards erected halfway along the lake and in the 1940s and 50s that area used to be packed with families having a swim and a picnic during the summer months. As young boy scouts we had a couple of Bell Tents erected on the opposite bank and we camped out there regularly during the summer. Carefree days but there you go. It's always nice to see shots of the old place again so thanks for your efforts....

[@travelbugbee]

Wow! I'm sure alot has changed since you were there x I love hearing stories from people about their memories from places I've been or lived. Thank you so much for sharing xxx

[@TomGreeneMusic]

Did you know three brothers named Ray,Thomas and Joe Greene?

[@martinclail9290]

@@TomGreeneMusic i knew the greenes, they were neighbours. Mrs Greene used to let us kids in to watch their TV in the 60s. My older brothers were mates of thomas, raymond and joe. You would be pushed to meet a nicer family. They lived in 26 st phelims place, we were in the same row of houses.

[@TomGreeneMusic]

@@martinclail9290 Ah that’s crazy mate, I’m named after Thomas as I was born on his birthday. Hence why my names “Tom Greene”. Ray still lives in St Phelams place and my Grandad Joe is still in Birmingham all these years later. As for Tom, we layed him to rest in 2019 after passing away from multiple illnesses. He was flew back to Cavan and had a lovely service in the cathedral where tons of his old friends gathered to say one last goodbye.

[@martinclail9290]

@@TomGreeneMusictell your grandad i was asking for him. Tell him Kenneth died a few years back in Coventry,he'll know who im talking about. Im in london, danny and Gerry are in somerset. As soon as you mention the Clails he'll know. I remember joe was a bloody good goalkeeper when we played in the college field nothing got past him. Your great Grandmother was walking up the road with me when i was about 10 and a 10 shilling note blew along the ground and she told me to pick it up and bring it up to me mum. I always make a point of seeing Ray when im home.

[@DamianBrown]

Home of my grandparents before the left for England. Well nearby, Shercock way

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Irland looks awesome thanks for the tour 👍

[@travelbugbee]

Thanks for watching cx

[@martinclail9290]

You should have no problem going down to Swellan lake, we always cut thru the fields to go fishing and the farmers would never stop us.

[@travelbugbee]

Ye I think Google maps was taking me a weird way. I know now that if you don't turn at the Terry Coyle park and go up to the Drumlins housing estate, there's access to the lake from there.

[@ginahn387]

Hi, Amy. I really enjoyed watching this video and the Sligo one. Please make another video about Cavan, since I know that Ireland is fully open now. Thanks a million! 🍀

[@travelbugbee]

Hi there. Thank you so much. I really appreciate the comment. I lost my mojo for video making the last few months but your very comment gave me a great idea! Thank you so much 🥰💗

[@travelbugbee]

[@kr_herbert]

What I'd like to know: how did you get that bird to perch on your hand!? Nice video

[@travelbugbee]

We had some nuts with us while hiking. We noticed these birds were coming up very close to us and we held out our hands with food and they came. Bare in mind this was in Canada and these birds (Whiskey Jack or Grey Jay's) and known for being friendly

[@M88ULV]

I didn't realise they'd only just moved there, I thought they moved time ago!

[@travelbugbee]

No they only moved last year while I was in Canada

[@IrishWildlifeWatch]
