    I went with my Grandmother yesterday to spend a while with a friend who resides in Meenagory.
    My Grandmother is eighty five.
    They talked about the games they used to play at school, and the fun they used to have.
    They played - "Frog frog" Im on your bog eating snails, and honey - "Blind Man's Buff"- "Jackstones" "Rounders", "Camogie".
