Report on the nursing home.
On the third of May 2012, we visited the Kilcolgan nursing home to look at some photos of Galway in times gone by. They had spent many months preparing for this event and may I say it was time well spent. There were many varieties of photos to look at, black and white, coloured, photos of their families and photos of friends. It was lovely to see all the pictures that they liked. I liked them all but if I had to pick one it would have been they photo of Marie Flannery’s grandparents. The piece written beside it read:
“Here is a photo that my mother had of her parents, my Nana and Grandad, outside the Estoria in the 1940’s. Kevin was the projectionist in the cinema in Lower Salthill.”
I also liked the one of Maicín Oliver carrying the goose under his arm while he was cycling in Bowling Green.
We also chatted to the residents living in the nursing home. It was nice to see the smiles on their faces and knowing that they were smiling because of us.
It was a lovely experience to be welcomed into the nursing home and see so many wonderful photos.
