| Description: |
Augusta interviewed Myra in her home in south Dublin. Myra grew up in County Clare under the shadow of Mullaghmore in a large farming family of five boys and four girls. They were relatively well-off with a lot of farmland and Myra's mother also reared fowl to supplement the farm income. There was hired help on the farm and a servant girl to help out in the household. With nine children in the family there was plenty of company even though there were no close neighbours. Myra has fond memories of the country life of her childhood - gathering nuts and wild mushrooms; feeding lambs and collecting eggs in the springtime and bringing big dinners out to the men in the field during haymaking.
