Looks like a wasted Elvis at Father Ted’s cottage on Craggy Island.

What’s scary is that this is an aspirational photo. The best you can hope for as a 45 year old Irishwoman is a tiny cottage with a broken plastered fireplace painted two shades of shit-brown, faded-watercolored wallpaper in a jittery scream inducing pattern, and being sung to by a still hungover nephew already into his third pint at 2 p.m. Oh, and looking like you’re 87. And waiting for a rusty teapot to boil from a wood fire using the wood beams from the upstairs level that you can’t make it up the stairs to anymore. Really, you’d be better off dead.

Maddox – this lady looked old because she was! She was my granny and I used to sit in the chair that Willie Brady is leaning on and make toast at the open fire. It may seem a broken old place but it was very happy and this picture brings back so many memories. If anyone knows where I can get a copy of this cover it would make my Mum’s year to get one. And by the way, she lived to be 97 so her so called life of misery didn’t do her any harm!

SheilR just wondering if what you say in your post is true…I am related to this family and was in the house recently and was shown a copy of this lp…I came across your post and am very interested to find out the family connection, thanks!

Yes it is true! The house is now owned by my Uncle Danny, my mothers brother.
If you were in the house recently you would have met him and presumably know his surname! What relation are you to the family?
