    journey and they to get hungry they would go to a wood and eat wild fruits such as blackberries and wild strawberries. The people long ago would no eat the bread that we have now. All the people of my district say that the people long ago, bigger and stronger than the people in Ireland to -day. It is said that the people long ago used to walk away form Galway to Dublin in a few days. The people had several different ways for making boxty, one way was to scrape potato is into a bucket and pt floor along it, another way for making it is to scare potatoes into a bucket and bake it.
