My dear departed husband and I spent 51 years together but now he has gone to a better place. Yes it is lonely round the Fields of Athenry without him albeit I live in Kent. God bless him and God bless the Dubliners for making such beautiful music and singing it so soulfully. Thank you.

I was born in England but my ancestors were Irish and left after the famine. I sang this song to a retirement community in Canberra Australia a couple of days ago and could not keep the tears back as I sang it. I noticed people in the audience also crying. It is such a sad song, and Paddy O’Reilly sings it so well. History contained some tragic situations. Let us hope that in this day and age we can all live in peace together. Unfortunately there is still so much tragedy and conflict in the world. May we all pray that this conflict is soon resolved.

For you stole Trevelyan's corn, So the young might see the morn. Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay..." Low lie the fields of Athenry, Where once we watched the small free birds fly... Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling, 'Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free... Against the famine and the crown I rebelled; they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity.' Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly... Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... By a lonely harbour wall, She watched the last star falling, As that prison ship sailed out against the sky... For she lived in hope and pray, For her love in Botany Bay... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... Low lie the fields of Athenry, Where once we watched the small free birds fly... Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing...

As if we do not know them, here are the lyrics By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Michael they are taking you away For you stole Trevelyans corn So the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lay waiting in the bay Chorus: Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had Dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matters Mary when you're free Against the famine and the crown I rebelled they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity Chorus By a lonely harbour wall She watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the sky For she lives to hope and pray For her love in Botany bay It's so lonely around the fields of Athenry

My grandfather was from County Carlow, but he was orphaned fairly young and grew up with family in Liverpool, but he never lost that soft as rain accent.

[@maureenshort1702]

I was born in Scotland after the Second World War. My mum and dad met through family friends after the war. My Dad joined the navy when he was sixteen … he wanted “ to,see the world” and of course he did, but then he found himself in this war. My Mum also joined the women’s movement that covered nurses etc. They met a year after the war, married and had me in 1948 in Glasgow, Scotland. At three years of age my Mum and I arrived in Melbourne Victoria Australia. Dad had arrived in Australia a year before to find a job and accommodation for his wee family. I was totally lost. My Grandmother had virtually bought me up with quite a lot of four uncles and two aunties. I have never wavered in my warmth and love for the Scottish and Irish people. Whilst I was young at the time, photos/happiness and the warmth of respective affection was always there. My husband and I toured Scotland and went onto Ireland. My Dad begged me not to go because of the unrest between the north and south. We arrived in Northern Ireland on the day of the truse. Wow it was unbelievable. We ventured on and travelled thru northern and Southern Ireland. Unbelievable how lucky were we and experience such history and also to meet with and befriend so many beautiful landscape and meet its people …. North and south. My deep affection … and of my Scottish accent that seems to erupt every now and then….. has warmed me to both the Scottish and the Irish. Our personalities are so similar .. live, love and be happy. That’s my motto. . Maureen Elizabeth. Short, Australia

What is really going on? =================== Covid is the SARS-CoV-2 Virus But the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been purified AND isolated AND genome sequenced end-to-end anywhere in the world. Pointless having a Test Swab as there is nothing to compare the test result too. PCR Test cannot identify a Virus. All PCR test results are invalid. Lateral Flow Antigen Test cannot identify a Virus. All Lateral Flow Antigen Test results are invalid. The only way to identify an individual Virus is a Spectroscopy Test. However as the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been isolated anywhere in the world there is nothing to compare the Swab Test sample too. Thus pointless having a Spectroscopy Test. Conclusion -- There is no SARS-CoV-2 airborne Virus. Face Mask Contaminated? Toxic Ethanol Hand Gel Test Swab Contaminated? Injection Contaminated? Plandemic -- Project Fear World Economic Forum -- Great Reset "You will own nothing and be happy" Agenda 21 -- Depopulation --- Injection has a patent on it. Injection is a Protein Bioweapon? --- Face Mask -- Side Effects Respiratory Acidosis Hypoxia Hypercapnia Blood Clots Aorta Bacterial Staph Infections Pleurisy Emphysema Bronchitis The list goes on................. Bacterial Pneumonia is the outcome of wearing a Face Mask. Patients are being admitted to hospital with Pneumonia not Covid. Face Mask Contaminated with Graphene Oxide? --- Bio-Safety Level 4 Hazmat Suit -- Positive Pressure This will stop an Airborne Virus Face Mask will not stop an Airborne Virus -- Consult Manufacturers Instructions. ----- Injection Side Effects Pathogenic Priming Anti-Body Dependent Enhancement Paradoxical Immune Enhancement Acquired Cellular Induration Syndrome Cytokine Storm --- Google Image Cows Nasal Vaccine Vaccinate cows with a Swab and/or a Nasal Spray Test Swab is covert Nasal Vaccination? ---- Pointless having a Test Swab for the SARS-CoV-2 Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world. Test Swab and Injection contain the Bio-agent. Bio-agent is a protein that will change the DNA of every person Test Swabbed and/or Injected. People must wake up to what the real agenda is with the airborne Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world! ===== ===== Transhumanism -- Neural Lace This will be the outcome of the Plandemic. Sheeple must open their eyes. World Economic Forum -- Great Reset "You will own nothing and be happy" Agenda 21 -- Depopulation ------- ------- Face Mask Contaminated -- Graphene 5G signal can activate the Graphene and shred your lungs from within. Face Mask is filling peoples lungs with Graphene. 5G is a Dual Communication Network and Weapon System. 5G signal can be focused on a defined area called Beam Forming for example the brain and/or the lungs where the Graphene will accumulate within the body. Thus Graphene on the Test Swab and in the Injection and the Contaminated Face Mask enters the body either the brain and/or the lungs and can be activated by the 5G signal at any time. Tragically activating the Graphene left inside the body will kill the person. Is this all part of the Depopulation plan? ------- ------- Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon. Cannot provide the exact details of what it is or my comment will be auto-deleted. Primer and Catalyst. Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon on the Test Swab and in the Injection is the Primer. Spike Protein in the Common Cold Virus is the Catalyst threat will activate the Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon. Nasal Spray Contaminated With The Common Cold? The Common Cold is one of the group of approximately 55 Coronaviruses. When people catch the Common Cold over the autumn and winter 2021-2022 Cytokine Storm death within 28 days. We are in the calm before the storm. Prepare for the storm.
