Ted’s son Vincent is now the keeper of Blacksod lighthouse and it was Ted who supplied the crucial forecast to the Allied forces on June 4, 1944. Vincent takes up the story. “The invasion was planned for June 5, 1944, and my father was requested to give the weather forecast from Blacksod, being the most north-westerly point and weather station, so he gave it. But that weather forecast was not suitable for an invasion, as it came across Ireland, down through England and into the English Channel, and it was blowing a near gale, so the D-Day landings, Operation Overlord, was delayed for one day and it went ahead on the morning of June 6, 1944, and that is as a result of the forecast from Blacksod,” says Vincent.
FLU; 100 years ago, Ireland had a devastating epidemic. The Spanish Flu, infected around 800,000 people in Ireland and claimed 23,000 lives over a 12 month period. Worldwide Over a year and a half, 18 million people died.
OLD SONGS: Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer’s gone, and all the flowers are dying ‘Tis you, ’tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow ‘Tis I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
A Mother’s Love is a Blessing An Irish boy was leaving Leaving his native home, Crossing the broad Atlantic, Once more he wished to roam, And as he was leaving his mother, While standing on the Quay, He threw his arms around her waist And this to her did say:
And as the years grow onward, I’ll settle down in life, And I’ll choose a nice young colleen, And take her for my wife. And as the kids grow older, They’ll play around my knee And I’ll teach them the very same lesson That my mother taught to me:
Chorus: A mother’s love is a blessing, No matter where you roam. Keep her while she’s living, You’ll miss her when she’s gone. Love her as in childhood, When feeble, old and grey, For you’ll never miss a mother’s love ’til she’s buried beneath the clay.
CHORUS Ah De Do Ah De Do Da Day, Ah De Do Ah De A He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady
Gypsy Rover came over the hill down through the valley so shady He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang and he won the heart of a lady CHORUS
CHORUS If you’re Irish come into the parlor, There’s a welcome there for you; If your name is Timothy or Pat, So long as you come from Ireland, There’s a welcome on the mat, If You come from the Mountains of Mourne, Or Killarney’s lakes so blue, We’ll sing you a song and we’ll make a fuss, Whoever you are you are one of us, If you’re Irish, this is the place for you!
