The one in the picture above is from about 1847. This was during the Great Famine that caused many people to perish from starvation and emigrate to England and Canada, Australia and America. The Irish diaspora is said to be about 90 million. We live in worrying times now but at least we don't starve!
I touched the famine pot and reflected on the poors plight. I think it's good that this pot is preserved and on display to show future generations what their ancestors went through.
reminds me of the story of Stone soup. We need visual reminders of what we never want to go back to. We must remember and care enough for others to not make the repeats of history.
ReplyDelete"Stir about" says it all doesn't it Sol. I know of a place not far from here in West Cork where nine thousand famine victims are buried. Thanks Sol.

Thanks for the info about the dolphin. At least I got the first letter of his name right even if all the rest was wrong. We’ve just written our shopping list. We don’t fancy going to the market or supermarket do a good neighbour is going for it. Fortunately we have a small bakery nearby so we can at least go for our own bread.
ReplyDeleteHi Gwil. Yes dear old Fungi lives in Dingle harbour. I believe a lot of people are confined their homes in central Europe? Wish we could get fresh bread everyday.
DeleteWe only go for bread once a week, just to be on the safe side. And we make sure we get there early doors.
Delete750,000 people are confined to their own village in Austrian Tyrol. We can go out to stretch our legs and not get cabin fever. But mustn’t congregate in groups of more than 5 and must stay at least a meter away from anyone we meet.
DeleteYes I have heard that Gwil. It looks very serious in central Europe at the moment. Are you still walking and running?
DeleteDave I’m having a short walk 2 or 3 miles in the woods each morning. That’s about it for the time being. Tomorrow if it rains I have an exercise I pedal for theoretical miles.
DeleteA stark contrast to today - people complaining that can't get their usual brand of quinoa or suchlike.
ReplyDeleteSo true JayCee. We have come so far.
DeleteI heard a radio programme not long ago about the potato famine in Ireland where many people died and were ignored and left to die on the road side and not given food. It was terrible.
ReplyDeleteThat's right Rachel. There were several famines in Ireland and Europe. The blight that destroyed the potato crop was the worst. There are still potato ridges visible from the Great Famine. Thanks!
DeleteWhat a reminder! Today we have our soup kitchens for the homeless and food banks for the poor, but, thankfully, few are in such dire straights as then. Hopefully such a thing will never be needed again.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right the veg artist. Imagine every town and village having a famine pot or soup kitchen? We are so fortunate to have food and money to spend it in the shops.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Many of us are lucky enough not to know true poverty.
ReplyDeleteSo true Simone. Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDelete90 million Irish diaspora! I wonder how many Italians and greeks there are. That's a tremendous amount of people to lose but they had no choice.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. You're right, that no choice but to emigrate. My father left Ireland in the nineteen Fifties and people still go to Australia, England, Canada and America for economic reasons.
ReplyDeleteSouvenir of a tragic period in Ireland's history. I always think it is interesting that so much store was placed upon the humble potato which is not native to the British Isles. It was first brought to Ireland in 1589 by Sir Walter Raleigh but two hundred years later it was the island's staple food.
ReplyDeleteIndeed YP. Apparently Ireland's warm and humid summers were thought ideal for growing the potato. It was also ideal conditions for potato blight.Sir Walter Raleigh lived at Myrtle Grove in Youghal in East Cork. I have featured it on here before.
ReplyDeleteThe Potato by Larry Zuckerman is a well worth read and it echoes what you say above.
Thanks for the picture. That's the episode that sent my father's maternal side leaving Cork.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne. Thanks for telling us about your father's maternal side leaving Cork.
